"Ookpik Waltz" Mandolin Lesson

Just 3 days left for #fiddletunefebruary -- Using measured tremolo on a bluegrass waltz like this "Ookpik Waltz" really fills out the longer notes while still pulsing with the beat. Such a haunting melody. / davidbenedictmandolin

[@cheosterhout3640]

What does it mean when the fret number is smaller? Ive never noticed that in taba

[@mandolinsam7901]

That's a pickup note.

[@edgarmcbee2474]

I have a question and I hope it's not a stupid one.i have been trying to learn how to reas music. How can a 1/8 note start a measure shouldn't there be a 1/8 rest in there either before the 1/8 note or between the 1/8 and 1/4 note ?

[@jeremychapman7243]

This song starts with the off beat, or the "and" count played with an upstroke. 1& 2 "& 3&"
