Excellent - watching Scott Pringle with Dead South and I tend to spend most of my time picking out the mandolin from banjo, cello and guitar. The chop is slowly seeping into my mind :) Description sound like your fingers are just killing decay.
Excellent teaching moments here - thank you! And I appreciate your comparing "wrong side of the chop" with chopping in sync with the downward press, very helpful. I might think (I'm only 4 yr mando player), there is a place for the wrong side, as well ..... for an added different effect, when wanted. Yes/no?
He sure does! If you're interested feel free to shoot us an email at lessons@theacousticshoppe.com or visit this link: www.theacousticshoppe.com/the-acoustic-shoppe-academy-about.htm
As a relative beginner, i got absolutely nothing out of this. Why just preach to the choir? i mean, if we already know how to CHOP this makes sense... but whats the point of rehashing the definition of a chop... if we can't chop??? his point seems to be (0:42) and it would have been more helpful (for me anywayz) if he would have touched on HOW a beginner might approach learning this technique when we are unable to accomplish this stretch. Is ther no work around? Maybe jst try to mimic the chop'sound by concentrating only on the G and D strings for starters? Telling us "THIS IS HOW U CHOP" ...now get out ther and do it is frustrating Grrr!
Honestly, there is not really a workaround to getting that Bluegrass G Chord. Practicing the stretch is the best way to achieve it, one thing that may help is pushing that entire chord shape up a few frets, that way you have to stretch less.
Nobody shows how to use a chop with a song. Its making me a chopless wonder. I can do chop but need direction on how to put into use. I understand muscle memory but I need feel for when to do it, not how.
Going back and watching the older videos is absolute gold for building on the basics 👍🏻
great tips!
Very useful. More please🙂
You got it👍 Thanks for watching!
Great explanation and demo - we're off to chop!

You can totally play the mandolin however you wanted and make whatever effects you feel, why not!
Thanks … this is a helpful video.
Thank you

Hi!! Ive been searching so much for the beginning song that you play! Can you share the name of the song???? Would be really really grateful to you!!!
Never thought I'd find this song again!! Thank you in advance Jeremy!
What's that tune you're playing in the beginning? It rules
Fishers Hornpipe/Devils Dream I think
I knew Uncle Bill. He patted me on the head and called me his little pet.
Thanks, Jeremy! Do you ever do Zoom or FaceTime lessons?
He sure does! If you're interested feel free to shoot us an email at lessons@theacousticshoppe.com or visit this link: www.theacousticshoppe.com/the-acoustic-shoppe-academy-about.htm
No, I’m not doing it right. Thanks for the video.
Jeremy, what's wrong with an obnoxious mandolin player? Thanks
🤣
