She switches from playing triads to adding flatted sevens and blues notes in the thirds. This is a really great study on the positioning of the scales and how to expand when you start to apply more colorful notes in the scale.
Nice lesson to open up the fretboard and inspire. Thanks to Reverb I hooked up with my first mandolin -- a used Eastman md505 sunburst for$600 I'm just lovin'. Can't wait to see Sierra live in a couple weeks. Life is good!
I play guitar but I’m wanting to get into mandoline. You’re instruction is easy to understand and your voice and delivery is easy too. You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you Sierra!
Many thanks for the tips, Sierra. I'm a pretty good guitarist, and I just this week bought my first mandolin. This was exactly where I needed to start.
Since you started playing at age 8, I thought you would be interested to know I started about three weeks ago at age 68. I still don’t have callouses on my fingers. I found this exercise quite interesting and have spent a few hours trying to see how you’re handling the transitions and intervals. Is it possible for you to put a tab of what you’re doing for us noobs? You are a phenomenal player and your singing voice, to my ears, is second only to Judith Durham. Thanks for posting your content. I enjoy the songs and the tips. I’m only hoping, some day, to play the mandolin well enough that listeners will know what piece I’m playing without being told.
Almost the same age and I just bought a mandolin 5 weeks ago. My fingers hurt and I have discovered my pinky is an idiot. I have such fun playing but it is so hard!!
Thank you . I usually play guitar. However, I have a Gibson 1916 A-4 top condition mandolin. It's a round hole and has unsurpassed tone. I really need to play & study more. I seem to get started and then get busy writing a new song on guitar. Thank you for your instructional inspiration. Such a beautiful instrument with inlaid ivory running pegs, tortas pick guard, rare solid one piece maple top, extended fret board, and perfect neck. The more it's played the better it sounds. Got to apply myself more & advance. Thank you.
OK…. This is a lesson that is a big step along the way. ( I have a broken foot at present so I have the time to go back to basics and get to a clearer solid style. This is one I’ll sit with for a few days with different scales and tunes) Thank you for this Serra!!
Great exercise......the old time jazz giants did this with guitar arpeggios and scales. Play arpeggios or scales starting with each finger ....go nonstop...go up an octave then back down landing on the next finger (pinky, ring, middle, index and you come back or vise versa)...after playing all 4 fingers start the next octave without stopping. Play all octaves til you can't go any further. play the whole neck without stopping. You'll see every fingering in every position. You will have to do low, high, low, high
She has the most perfect right hand form. Those knuckles are stacked beautiful, and the wrist movements are the more free and flowing I've ever witnessed. Thile buzzes more notes than she does....😍😍😍😍😍
Sierra... you are SO brillient!!! Just LOVE everything you do! You could just sit there. Maybe grin once in awhile. And I'd LOVE IT!!! Cause...I just love you SOOO MUCH!!! We are SOOO BLESSED to be able to have you on Earth shining your Light 🎶🌻🧚♀️🌷
Sierra, Mike in NW Ar. that sponsored your show a few years ago at the WAC. Thanks for taking the time to post these lessons & practice hints, they are very helpful. Look forward seeing you again on the road.
Sierra you're simply amazing. Let's see you're the best mandolin player in the world, you sing with the voice of an angel, you're super cute, brilliant, and you can teach. How can one person be so talented?
I'm a newbie but I believe that it would just work for instruments that are turned like a mandolin (with GDAE). The interval pattern would be different on other instruments. (I'm referring to the specific pattern, not the general concept..)
It's basically position shifting which applies to all stringed instruments. Using 7th arpeggios may make the shifts easier but creates a different sound. Also can be applied to pentatonics which players like Mateus Asato uses but he doubles the target note twice which is common in blues. On electric guitar there are also other approaches to increasing your range, tapping and 4 notes per string that I know of.

Love the way she makes practice musical, not just exercises
Thanks for giving back and reaching out to your fans! That’s truly excellent!
I'm a new mandolin player and I love that Sierra Hull is my teacher! More like this please Reverb.
Greetings

Yep, 73 y/o with no previous experience with any musical instrument here… tabs would be super helpful, cuz dang, her fingers are just way too fast! 😊

Really, really good. Most tutorials for guitar and mando don’t get through to me. Thank you.
I ❤️ the sound. Watching from London UK 🇬🇧
Trying to play those diatonic arpeggios backwards is blowing my mind! This is a great exercise!
Watching you play man do leaves me mesmerized. Even when you just play the major scale in G. Just love your music :)
I follow her for ages such a brillant artist
Thank you for sharing this great warm up. I shall put it in my everyday playing routine..
Thanks so much....such a humble a talented lady!
Excellent lesson. Really helpful and well explained.
She has the most perfect right hand form. Those knuckles are stacked beautiful, and the wrist movements are the more free and flowing I've ever witnessed. Thile buzzes more notes than she does....😍😍😍😍😍

Very cool. Thank you for the exercises.
What a player and a teacher!
Oh, you have to practice. That’s what I’ve been doing wrong.
same
😄😄😄
Thats a beautiful sounding mandolin you have
It's not just a Gibson, it's The Gibson
Incredibly helpful
It sure was. It gave me that “where’s my guitar at, I gotta try some this out” kinda moments. Thanks Sierra.
as a cellist just learning the mandolin, it is really fun to feel like my hands are gigantic and lightning fast
Excellent practice tips
Can someone please for the love of God explain to me the chords she plays at 5:30 I've watched her hands a dozen times and can't seem to catch it.
Sierra you're simply amazing. Let's see you're the best mandolin player in the world, you sing with the voice of an angel, you're super cute, brilliant, and you can teach. How can one person be so talented?
Hi nice to meet you
Excellent excercises
That articulation without electronics is what makes them play the mandolin
Nice playing!!!
Greetings from a Cretan style mantolin player :)
Have a nice day! I'm a Mandolin player from Vietnam.
Thank You SH !!!! 🤘🏼🎶🥳
She is outstanding!
Would you do one on chop chords
Thank you. Very, very useful!!
Is this the Jethro warm up scale? It sounds 85% like it.
Mandolin sounds perfect, which mic you use for this video? thanks
Love this, thanks.
gibson f5 ;) YOU EARNED IT!
Great lesson. Thx
Thanks for sharing this
Deadly, very useful
Kind of blew my mind there
Cute as a lil tater bug's ear!...I've already put this info to good use in my group meetup jam session!
You’re the best, no doubt…❤️😎
Thanks for the great lesson
Omg; very helpful. 😊
Excellent
Brilliant! Thanks!
Which pickup is she using on the mandolin?
I think it's more of playing into the microphone
Thanks for the nice lesson Sierra. Just starting to learn to solo, I need brain food.
Where can i buy ur bennie?
Very helpful.
Thank you
She's awesome
So lovely
Does this work for all fretted string instruments?
Probably not for a sitar.

(I'm referring to the specific pattern, not the general concept..)

Learn the scale on each string
Sierra, do a lesson on your song E tune ,i want to learn it , its one of my favorites !!!
Man, I base all my scales on luck. I didn't know ya had to know anything.
😂😂😂 I know what you mean
So true
Those who she emulates did not think in these terms... they used their ears. I'm not talking bout Ricky Skaggs
Visual data input is over riding audio.
Ok..got it - great.
Great!
I can't pa in that high on the neck cause my fingers are so big they just mute the strings lol.
mandolin fingering same like violin fingering.... greeting from bali island
I will never play like u , but i want a bennie like urs!
Best !!
Nice mandolin! I use to have a 1913 Gibson F4. I kicked myself a thousand times for selling it.
Is that the one I bought? Its my favorite mandolin! Ebay i think 4-5 years ago?
@@dobrodoc No, I sold it in Florida
Cool hat
Compressor attack is set too fast
You'd think they'd put the heating on...😊
The next Jimi Hendrix' :[)
that looks difficult to me lol
👌🏿
Ask her ?
Wow :)
Original G
Her hat has a big top'
is it that cold in there you need a sweater and a toboggan?
I'm in love. and when you fall in love, you fall up
I must be like the only guy into Crowbar and Meshuggah who buys this girls music lol
Not the only one. Good music is good music.
no ones impressed or cares
She lost me , when the word Reverb came up on the screen!!
