    clear and to the point, and a giant step forward for me.

    Don’t mean to complicate things (you’ve done a great job explaining it) but going up and down at the fifth fret is a perfect illustration of the circle of fifths - start at G, C above, D below. I’m a nerd engineer, and I am endlessly fascinated by all of these patterns and how they always resolve.

    Ok...got my AHA moment! Guitar player here....learned to play a couple chords for Copperhead road (G and D) and it blew the boys minds in the band. What I got from here is the guitar is tuned in 4ths and the mando is tuned in 5ths. With a guitar you go UP a string for the 5th and DOWN for the 4th....the exact opposite. Made me think totally differently. I'm going to practice your lick here and the next time I break the mando out at practice I'll bet the boys are about to flip! I think I can extrapolate a bunch of stuff just by knowing this alone. Blew me away! I don't know why I didn't see it already! I'm an intermediate (mid to upper) on guitar and have a lit of the theory set in my mind. Now I just have to think a little backwards and I think I'll be playing some fun stuff. By the way...I HATE tabs. They're upside down and to turn in right side up screws with my feeble brain! I've often wonder what evil designed that! Then I learned it was invented by some midEVIL dude for PIANO so right side up isn't important to them. Top string on the instrument should be top string on the tab if you ask me. SMH all day long! hehe Thanks...I'll be signing up on your site as soon as I have time. Thanks Ben! I think I'll pick this right up. Banjo tuned in 5ths too? Happy Saturday! PS...Beacon Hill Band on FB....I'm the handsome big guy in the back on most days. And I sit on a stool...big mistake practicing sitting down. I have on work on that too. We're a pretty popular band in Cody Wyoming with a decent following. Oldest guy is 71 and youngest is 58. I'm 67 and still rockin! By the way....my acronym for tuning is Got dern it alice...ENOUGH! hehe Never thought about it being tuned upside down to a guitar

      Great story, thanks! Keep it up! Banjo is even easier as it shares some guitar tuning.

      I'm starting on mandolin but notice that the strings are tuned in reversed order of the four low strings on guitar. I'm trying to stay away from using tab but tab works best, to me, for the banjo.

    Question: I have an A style, but bought a new F style & the extended fret thingy is in my way. What or how do I adjust my playing?

    Hey, I will be playing an open D, but when I play the seventh fret on the G string, It is always sharp, now my bridge is right in the middle of the f holes so I am thinking it is just a cheap mandolin? it was only $100 and some notes sound dead even if I have the bridge raised a lot

  • @allenronaldson4381
    @allenronaldson4381 5 лет назад +1

    That was some good stuff! Ben dropped some serious mando knowledge right there.
    Hey Ben, how is this different from the “skip-a-fret” method? Are you familiar!

      Banjo Ben Clark You're optimistic. If he couldn't even count the tuning pegs how do you expect him to do a complex calculation like that?
