Learn how to play the one finger mandolin chord. I learned this technique from Wayne Benson. It´s the open A5 chord that I use all the time. So do other modern players like Chris Thile, Sam Bush, Mike Marshall etc. Here I will show you the secret trick!

I fret the A and E notes on the G and D strings. It might be confusing how I try to explain it in words.
Is this different from standard tuning?
@@JedWyse Its standard GDAE
Thank you! I was following a lesson from someone else and all they said was "bar down" for A chord. This secret was very helpful.
Thanks for this video. I was not aware of this technique. I've been playing that A chord with two fingers. That can result in some fret buzz on the G strings if the first finger isn't placed just right on my standard mandolin and is a real problem on my octave mandolin. The one finger method takes care of that problem, as well as freeing up a finger. Good stuff.
Ronald Grider first time I ever seen that I'll practice that's cool
Fantastic performance
Thank you, this new student with small hands/fingers appreciates this!
Glad you find it useful Debra!
I like this lesson and will use this. I have played the A chord before but worried that I was not getting all four strings of the two fingers. Now I am not worried. Also, I didn't realize the versatility of muting with the other fingers. Finally, I found out I could use the open top two strings, then the A chord with one finger and then the C chord on fifth fret, the B on fourth, the Bb on third, the A on 2nd. It sounded like I was playing a Black Sabbath song I just discovered is easy on Mandolin by learning this lesson of yours. I think the song is War Pigs.
Sounds good Paul!
Yep, what you're describing is the riff between verses on "War Pigs".
Hi this is a new technique for me thank you
This is new to me. It will allow me to do several things that I have found difficult otherwise. I expect I will apply it in several chords. Thanks for what you do.
Yes, when I realized how they actually did that thing it it was an "aha moment" fro me. Thanks for your comment Hartley!
New to the mandolin after 16 years of playing upright bass. This technique is saving my hands from cramping. Thank you so much
Thanks Alex! Glad to hear you started playing the mando. Keep up!
Hi Magnus, thanks, five years late, for this useful technique. You have lucky fingers, like mine lucky they don't snap off.
P,ease keep these videos coming, Magnus....you are GRRREAT teacher.
Thanks Phil! Yes, I really enjoy making the videos and connecting with players all over the world, so i will keep on as long as it feels like this!
Thanks for sharing Magnus! This is a great tool for jamming with others and adding some color to the chords.
Thanks Josh! Glad you like it.
Thanks! This really helped me. My fingers aren't wide enough to fret both string pairs successfully, but they are too large to use two fingers (one per string). This will take some getting used to, but it is very helpful. I am glad I found this tutorial. Thanks so much!
Perfect Kevin! I use this all the time.
Sent some $$ to your donation about a week ago....Your lessons are really good..Down to earth..great tips and tricks and just enough theory to make basic sense of it all. Yes the one finger chording and mute is something ALL mandolin players need to have in their bag of tricks. GREAT lessons..thanks Magnus!
This is exactly the video I was looking for! I couldn't figure out how to fret those two pairs of strings with my super skinny finger! Thanks!
Thanks Engel! Glad you found the video useful. Greetings from Sweden!
I been playing about 10 years goes to show you always learn something new.ii looks like it's going to take a lot p.o. practice to do it like you do.wish me luck
This is a new technique for me, and I think it is great. It seems like a tool to use when jamming with others as it brings out the fullness of the mandolin. I look forward to bringing it into my playing.
Cool! I like it you already have an idea how to use it in context.
Thank you Magnus! I have been playing for three or so years. I use the 1-finger A and the E too. Your explanation further unlocks some of the “secrets” of chord and rhythm playing on the mandolin! Thanks again!
I been playing acustic and I love the funk sound of mand. I carry it with me around house and just cant leave sitting in box to long. I have anger problem and guitar is a way to stretch and shake out my soul. Ill be back.lol thank you.
Would be a cool intro groove....So much easier than those killer "long G" Chord Shapes
Great video! I do the same thing for playing perfect fifths (I also have small fingertips) and I observe a lot of my mandolin heroes doing it too. Thanks for a well-articulated video. I’ll be sharing this with my students!
Thanks for sharing, bro.
You´re welcome my friend!
Reminds me of Chris Thile on the song the Fox
Funk flavor. Love it man. Got break through. Thank ya . the musical gods are praising my talents released. Lol. I know little acoustic. You have any advise on anything i can bring with acoustic play. I found no cords like eachother . weird.
This is a chord I use when backing up Jerusalem Ridge and the Silk Waltz. 2 tunes that I will publish tutorials to in the following weeks. So learn this cool technique now and you will be halfway through the upcoming lessons.
Great tip thks!!
Would it be possible to tell us what fret you are placing your fingwrs on, im having trouble with this, even a close up view would be even be nice. Thank you, I'm enjoying the videos nontheless.
2nd Fret! Thanks! Stay with it and you’ll make it!
I need a close up view as well.
Magnus, I recently discovered (since February this year) the great instrument that the Mandolin is. I also just started listening to your videos. I am impressed with your precision and effort to communicate and teach properly. I really liked the strumming rhythm at the beginning of the above video. Do you actually have a dedicated video to teach these syncopated rhythms (slightly Funk style) for Mandolin/ Thanks again for your dedication. Giorgio
Thanks Giorgio! There is no specific RUclips video for that Funky rhythm playing. I will make a specific tutorial! Thanks for input! 🙂
@@MandolinSecrets I look forward the specific tutorial about that rhythm. I am having a hard time repeating that syncopation, that seems to come natural to you! Thanks Giorgio.
Please explain exactly whicj fret you are on. I can't tell from facing you
Excellent tip. Hadn’t seen that before. ps Beautiful sound from your Phoenix. I heard they are set up for very light strings. Interested to know the guages.
Thanks! In this video the gauges is .010, .014, .024, .038. D'addario EJ73.
Funk mandolin
What is the maker of your mandolin? Thank You
How is the bottom string dead? You aren't touching it with your finger are you?
Jed, yes I’m touching it slightly. Muting it!
Bm också, eller hur?
I had heard about that technique but my fingers are too thin for it, they dont mute the outer strings. Thanks anyway. ;)
Experiment with placement and angle. It might work if you give it some time.
Thanks for your answer! I'll try some more. For now i can hardly press both inner strings at the same time, my fingers are really thin. :/ But i do manage just pressing my whole phalanx on both double strings. The effect is the same i think, but i guess it's not great for the articulation so i try not to do it too much.
This is like a modified powerchord... You can play that all the way up the fretboard.
