I tuned my ukulele to violin but wondering how much a mandolin would be I play guitar & new on violin (and new on banjo) Wondering if I should invest or just continue on what I have
I am continually shocked by how many stringed instrument players do not understand this concept-this is the foremost important truth about stringed instruments! Learning chords seems to be where most people stop! Thanks for covering this so thoroughly BBC!
Prove it! Yeah mine is a 1999 Gibson F5G. John Fogerty owned it briefly before I got it in 2000. I just discovered you. Mon be signin up for your lessons. I haven't played in 10 years. Been doing vocals and guitar.
@@steefhol7387 He got it from Mandolin Brothers in New York then traded it back in on another one. I wound up buying the one he traded back because I liked it and it was in my price range. They sold it to me as new with the Gibson warranty for like $2600. This was in 1999 or 2000. It is still my main mandolin.
This is one of the best lessons that anyone could get for pretty much any stringed instrument. Thank you
Wow, thanks so much!
Mind blown! New music learner here. So much learned in a little space of time. I'm going to have to sign up.
I am a GP member , and I love it! Thanks for the dedication !! Have a great day and God bless Banjo Ben!!
Wow this is such a help cause I'm learning both the instruments together. Genuinely thank you so much!
I’d not thought of it that way. What a great perspective. Thank you!!
It was such an amazing explanation.
I loved it
Thank you from this newbie mandolin player
One item that you could expand on is the octave number that each string is tuned to. For example the G string is G3, D is D4, A is A4, and E is E5.
Good information! HOw much action should you have at your 12th fret with the G string? I think I have too much. thanks.
What’s a piano?
Thanks Ben, appreciate this lesson.
