Heart of Kentucky. MANDOLIN SECRETS. Great lesson on the feet board. I learned from it. Thank you. Katie.

I've been playing mandolin for about 5 years, self taught only, and after only 4 minutes of this video, I can tell it will greatly improve my skills. Thank you Magnus! You really opened my eyes to how much foundational stuff I missed

[@MandolinSecrets]

Wow, that's cool! Keep up the good work blackborealis!

[@oldmaterizz4516]

Have been playing mandolin for a while. Self thaught too. Where did you learn things? Kinda stuck...

[@blackborealis]

@@oldmaterizz4516 honestly just watching RUclips videos like this and a few others. Plus I learned the chord shapes and just a lot of practice

[@gibby6904]

Thank you so much! You are a great teacher....

[@johndavy6056]

Thanks Magnus, another gem, simple and effective.

[@MandolinSecrets]

Thanks John!

[@SketchingRocks]

Great way to practice learning the fretboard thanks. I like the ways you make learning fun instead of droning on and on and on and on...well done!!

[@MandolinSecrets]

Thanks Greg! I´m glad to hear that.

Heart of Kentucky. Hi Magnus. Great mandolin lesson. No, I have not done the lesson you did, but I'm going to try it. Katie.

[@robertshorthill6836]

Hi Magnus, great videos, as usual. One thing I did for my studio/ practice room was make a chart and poster about 16"X 20" for my wall of the entire fretboard notes. I can refer to it in an instant and it helps too. Bob

Excellent lesson!!!!!!

[@MandolinSecrets]

Thanks Cajun PipeSmoker!

[@polobhaggy2745]

Love your teaching technique .

[@sethsurf]

Thanks good tip about adding rhythm. I also try to play circle of 4ths and say the notes as I go although I tend to get lost somewhere around f#, anyway this will help me for notes further up the fretboard.

[@MandolinSecrets]

Cool, keep going like that!

[@tomluppino325]

Nice tip Magnus. I have been memorizing each string but I am going to try jumping around with each note as you suggest.

[@MandolinSecrets]

Cool Tom!

[@itsybitsy1693]

Awesome teaching, thank you so much!!!
😊💛

[@MandolinSecrets]

Thanks itsy bitsy!🙂

[@marilynsherbring2773]

Really great, simple tips. Visions of Sesame Street came to my mind, and I wished for cartoon fretboard lessons. 🙏

[@MandolinSecrets]

Haha! I love it Marilyn. I would also watch that for sure. :-)

[@marclalonde7395]

Always helpful!!!! Thanks!

[@MandolinSecrets]

You go Marc!

[@Lumors]

I know all the names of the notes I just don't know where they are. :D
But thanks for the tip, I just realized how much I need this knowledge. I take way too much time counting from the base string every time, haha...

[@MandolinSecrets]

Yes, we don´t want to refer the notes to a specific string is so. These note names and placements are consistent!

[@jimmymahone5420]

An old saying about skydiving ... "Why would I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" Once again, Magnus chucks us beginners out of the airplane, now trying to land on particular notes all over the neck. Good idea, yet one wonders how many misses before we land on the right spots? ;-)

[@jleekas]

Thank you!!

[@MandolinSecrets]

You´re welcome Jamie!

[@eliotbrenner3156]

Magnus: thanks for replying to my since-deleted comment. I was misunderstanding how you described the C notes and octaves, wrongly believing you were suggesting those four Cs covered four octaves, not three. My mistake.

[@MandolinSecrets]

No worries, you´re welcome! I sometimes say confusing things. It´s also a matter of the English language.

[@benthelearner6104]

Me too, I heard that and thought, 2 and 3rd strings is the same. But, it depends how you interpret the question. ahah.

[@WWS322]

I can't read music for the mandolin but I can for guitar. Mandolin music is usually in tablature so I've no incentive to learn it.

[@VinodJadavani]

Good Good sir you god gif

[@MandolinSecrets]

Thanks Vinod!
