It just wasn't matching the recording, but now that I know that Guy capos up to E, that shouldn't be a problem

Well , that certainly explains it, lol. So would you play out of an E pentatonic scale? Thanks

This is probably a really easy question, but I pretty new to mandolin and don’t know much in the way of theory. I was trying to play along with Dublin Blues tonight and didn’t have much success. The...

Thanks for all of the advice. I have my next lesson on Thursday and I'm going to talk to him about what I want to get out of the lessons and see where that goes.

Actually, he didn’t ask my goals. He asked me to play some things that I already knew to see where I was and then started the process I outlined in my original post

Thanks for the response. Everything you said makes sense. I haven't spoke to him , I guess because I feel like I'd be implying that he doesn't know how to do his job. Maybe I'll mention it next...

I recently started taking private lessons via Skype with a teacher that I really like, but after my first few lessons I am questioning if they are worth the money for what I'm getting. The price is...

Thanks for the response, that sounded great! Good point about the neck angle. I guess I'll stay the course and keep working on it.

I know this is resurrecting a dead thread here, but I was searching for info on pick grip and this one came up. I'm a beginner, and this pick grip stuff is driving me crazy. I got into mandolin to...

Those are good points. PegHead Nation was a no brainer since it was free for a month, but I completely agree that while I think I'm doing exactly what Sharron is demonstrating, I'm sure I'm not, and...

Well, I signed up for PegHead Nation and got a free month. I've been working through the beginner stuff this morning, and it is exactly what I was looking for - very logically laid out, and you mark...

That's a really good point. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. I hadn't really thought much about PegHead Nation. I'll have to look into it. I guess I just got hung up on the idea of learning from Mike Marshall. Good to know about the short...

Wayne definitely seems like a great teacher. His YouTube videos are very thorough which is why I reached out to him regarding private lessons. Dave Benedict is the same way. I'm just not sure which...

I'm a beginner for sure, and I can play a few tunes, but that's kind of what I'm trying to get away from, just learning tune after tune. I like the idea of learning a tune, and a basic technique the...

Thanks for the response. That was what I needed to know. I'll look into the book as well

I know there have been plenty of post on the Artistworks lessons, but I couldn't find an answer to my specific question. One of the problems that I've had with free YouTube video lessons is that they...

I just got a The Loar 310F from a local big box music store for 299.00. I'm far from a mandolin expert, but I've played quite a few of the imports and I'm happy with the tone and playability of this...
