- Here's a lesson for fiddlers who want to learn the mandolin.
You’ll find more extensive lesson notes and mandolin charts on this page: fiddlehed.co/MandolinForFiddlers
It's a little easier for fiddlers to learn mandolin because both instruments have the same strings: GDAE. This means the left-hand finger patterns are the same. If you're a fiddle player, then learning mandolin is a simpler translation process than learning something totally different like drums. Kind of like going from Spanish to Italian. If you're a fiddler trying to learn the drums, then it's more like going from Spanish to Mongolian.
Three skills you need to learn for the Fiddle to Mandolin transition:
1. Picking
2. Strumming
3. Chords
Big takeaway: You can start learning these skills RIGHT NOW with your fiddle.
So pick up your fiddle and let's get started!

This is a suggestion from an old southern lady. When you sing Oh Susana and you get to "I come from Louisiana" try changing how you pronounce Louisiana.
In the south, it's sung "I come from
Lu•zee•ana"
it cuts out one syllable and fits the rythm better.
In a way it would be like the difference between;
Whiskey before breakfast
and
Whiskey prior to breakfast
However you do it, you could still can pick a mandolin or play a fiddle using your toes to bow than I, as a student of yours will ever be able to do.
The information and study aides on your website and in the course, exceed by far, any other fiddle instruction I've researched. You also have a very calming, down to earth style. And last, everyone learns in different ways. I'm an older ( fiftylevin 😉 ) year old beginner. Your course allows for that. For me, personally, that was the deciding factor when I was deciding on what course to take.
Thank you.
Getting a mandolin cord book really helped me out With the fiddle , But this was over 20Years ago and when I learn they didn't have social media, Are the internet like it is today there wasn't no RUclips when I was a kid and learning which I really wish there had been I love these tutorial channels because I just recently got another another Fiddle recently
Thanks for posting! It is very useful for me on my fiddle even if I never get a mandolin...
Very interesting ideas! Thank you!
There's no reason anyone should listen to me. But I played (at) mandolin before taking up fiddle. There's definitely a lot of benefits from knowing one when you learn the other.
Good morning!!!!SHOW pratce😅🤩🤩
100th like!!🎉 glad you made this lesson!
Daaaaaang, too much fun! 😀 I love it, and will start fiddlin' around with it - well, on top of my usual FiddleHed practice sessions!
Wow, never knew that. Will have a go at this. Thanks for posting.
This is so good to know!
Sweet!!
U r doing great ❤️❤️❤️
I started out as a guitar player and Then I actually got a fiddle 1st then a mandolin. The mandalorian has been way easier for me to play But like I said I'm originally a Guitar player
Love it! I have thought about getting one for a long time. I think the best reason is to help you find where the frets go on a fiddle. If you try to play higher on the neck (and are like me) you get lost up there a lot
I would play more of my fiddle but the d string sits to low on the bridge and it clashes with the other strings when I try to push down on the string
I got a question. I acquired a mandolin anda fiddle at the same time. My emphasis and priority is learning the fiddle however. Does basic learning of the mandolin make it easier to learn the fiddle? I already play guitar so I have a good working knowledge of music theory. Awaiting your answer and thanks for your videos
I found that if I taped the positions on my mandolin it helped if I had played something on fiddle first. Having same tapes...and going thru chromatic scale on fiddle has made it easier for me to go back and forth. If I ignore one instrument I tend to clunk on my reboot of it. Staying tuned to see what the Jason says ;) but hope that will help you or someone else.
I know you're not asking me. But, I started on guitar (decades ago)... then added mandolin. I think knowing the notes and chords on mandolin has made fiddling easier for me.
@@eldoubleu2250 thanks for your thoughtful reply. That’s probably a pretty good idea as well
@@dalevancleefsr thanks also for your reply and I got to say that was my initial instinct and idea. However, being in Texas and a huge fan of Texas Country music, I have a lot more inspiration for the fiddle and there is a HUGE demand for fiddle players. The mandolin was an afterthought when I was picking up / buying the fiddle from a friend
I mean mandohed lol :)
can this shirt be purchased?
Yes, thank you for asking and for your interest! 🎻
