- Please subscribe to my channel for weekly updates! Lesson link: banjobenclark.com/lessons/ama... - In this lesson, we're not only going to learn two different versions of Amazing Grace on the mandolin, but we're going to work on making our tremolo patterns "intentional", as well as learning how to find harmony notes to play along with the melody!

To anyone considering the website. Well worth the money. Lifetime is the cost of a few private lessons and these you can rewind and play back as much as you need. Excellent value for the money. Thanks BanjoBen.
Perfect! I can't wait until I can learn this one!
Thank you Brother Ben.
Working on this!!! Very nice! :):):)
Sweet Opening!
Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Publicenemy1. I do this for a living. I guess I'll choose to feed my family, and I'll have to just deal with being called selfish.
One thing I think is helpful to understand about tremolo picking is it's purpose: to act as a stand in for sustain. Mandolins have basically no sustain (at least compared to other stringed instruments and when thinking about the comparative volume), so they can't give you a note that rings out for like a measure and a half. The way you get that is by continuously sounding the the note. Because you're having to strike the note multiple times, you get a sort of warbling effect as the volume dies down, gets struck, dies down, and that's what you're controlling with the speed of your tremolo.
The lack of sustain is mostly mitigated these days by technology thanks to microphones and dynamic mixing that can keep a held note loud enough to be heard, but since a lot of mando performances still aren't mic'd and people decided that they liked the sound of the tremolo, it's become a sort of standard practice.
i guess Im pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Hayden Calvin flixportal =)
@Josiah Cohen thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!
@Hayden Calvin no problem :)
I love youtube recommendations!
Just awesome makes me want to buy a mandolin. Nice video
I did . I am learning these fellers and some REM , Zepplin and TRIO to start with...
Thank you for this! I´ll try it right now! greetings from Germany,Konny
If I can figure out the melody notes by hear, how do I know what the harmony notes are. Sometimes I can hear it, but how to I identify what harmony I am playing?
thanks steve
What a comment from Publicenemy1! We all have to make a living somehow don't we? It would be good if we could all afford to be 'selfless'. I would love to welcome everyone to my campsite for free but until I can afford to I will have to remain selfish..... Carry on feeding your family Ben so that we can enjoy your good work. I have not progressed to subscribing yet - I'm preparing by following your free videos for now.
Never had this when I was young,....just watched the players round the fire or in the kitchen.....then again....I am old and from a different time and era....learned drop-thumb from Grandpa Jones at the Edmonton Exhibition.....all he said was "Listen first...watch later!"
cool story Sir !
Marvin Pearce wish I'd of had players round the fire and in the kitchen, that's a blessing
Can you provide a link to this content on your website? I searched, but couldn't find this video. Thanks!
Great work. Looks like an Eastman 915??
nice video and what is that mandolin is it a eastman?
Excellent always.
Thank you!
Do you like the Eastman Mando Ben? Looks the same as mine!!!
Could you do a video on how to play Will The Circle Be Unbroken on mandolin? Thanks
What’s that little ending song you’re playing?
Can you please tell me what kind of mandolin you are playing here? Thanks much.
👌🏿
You'd better believe it! Class of '01...gig 'em!
Ben,
What kind of strings and picks do you use on your mandos? Brand, gauge, etc.
Thanks,
matt

You might want to consider turning the video camera upside-down for some of these videos! This may sound crazy, but it would be easier to recognize the chords from that perspective, as if we were playing them too.
Nice Eastman mando

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'twas Grace that taught,
my heart to fear.
And grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear,
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come. 'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
than when we first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now... I see
It’s 4am and I don’t own a Mandolin
😂
Is that an Aggie ring I see??
is that an 515 eastmen?
Terry Hack believe it's and 815 could be wrong though. Believe the 815 comes with the scoped extension. And I've never seen a 515 that has a "traditional" extension. 815 come in lacquer or varnish finish 815/815v. I used to have a 515 there a good mando but the 815 and 915 are a step above. Hope that helps
It's an 815 varnish...thanks!
Banjo Ben Clark I thought so. Sounds very good. Still have the F5g though right?! I had the chance to buy a Gibson fern 2001 model signed by Danny Roberts for $4800 I should have bought. I've kicked myself ever since. Had the prettiest back I've ever seen on one. I play a custom "Clawson" by the late dean clawson of advance North Carolina 84 model. It's pretty good especially after Skip Kelly worked his magic on it. I remember going with dad to get it when I was young. Always wanted a Gibson though. Maybe one day. Dave Harvey's new stuff is phenomenal. I'd take a good Eastman 815 or Kentucky 1000/1500 too! Lol thanks for your videos Banjo Ben!!!
No wonder he's Public Enemy #1
Some people expect to be spoon fed for free. When I was learning to play there was no tab, no tube, no nothing. We used to slow down LP's of Doc, and Doug Dillard by playing them at 16 rpm and just plain trying to figure out what they were doing! That weeded out all the public enemies.

Your lessons are great. That "bum ba la" bs is a real turn off. What's up with that?
The tremolo doesn't feel right being so precise, just listening to it. Needs more variety, but good enough for a basic lesson.
Why do you need his tabs when you can literally see what he is playing? I don't think it could actually be any clearer, he's even got the tabs and the chords in the video.
If you don't want to pay for his tabs stop being lazy and write your own from what you see.
Oh my Lord dude stop talking so much and teach
