10:00am to 10:55am on 5/7/2011.
This master class will focus on folks that play mandolin or want to play mandolin and never have time for lessons or a place to take them. Jerry told us he generally has total beginners leave playing basic tunes with great success. This is one to bring your young adults, kids & grandkids to so they can try mandolin out for themselves. Must provide your own mandolin.
(A Note From Eric: For all guitar players, here's a way to learn an alternative instrument quickly. Learning an alternative instrument like mandolin can only benefit you in the long run since a lot of it transfers over, so if you own a mandolin and never use it dust off it off and let Jerry show you how to pick it.) - เพลง
This was a great video , I have watched it over and over. If I forget something I go back and watch it again. It has taught me so much. Thanks for the help Jerry. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jerry I have played guitar for 30 years this mandolin is all new to me...
Thank you Jerry. Best video teaching to begin I've ever seen. Watched you for years and learned instrument repair from you as well. God bless you friend !
Awesome and super clear in his teaching style.
Great stuff! Jerry, you look like a silver-haired teenager in this older video!
You are blessed with a very productive and full life. Not too many people can say that.
That has to be, by far, the best mandolin video on the net. I learned more in those 13 minutes than I have watching all the other video's combined
Seriously???
You didn't learn how to deploy an apostrophe though.
Movable chord positions is good basic theory. Jerry has good tone on that custom mandolin he made!
Thanks for posting. I learned a lot from this lesson.
Well this is cool I've watched a lot of videos but this one really cuts into it and get you right to the point thanks man
What a great lesson I learnt something new thanks Jerry
You've come a long way pilgrim! Very good!
A touch of genius! 🤗🇺🇸🤗🇺🇸
Wow! I didn't know Jerry does this - I watch a lot of his repairs and should really start playing again. Haven't touched a mandolin in over 30 years...
Straight on Point 🎯
Thank you sir!
Some really good information in this short video. When he was discussing 7th chords the camera angle prevented me from seeing exactly what Jerry was doing with his fretting hand. I had to watch the video again before I felt I understood what about switching to a 7th chord.
Fantastic thank you so much
Great info thanks!..Mel Bay!!
As a beginner, I found this to be very informative. 🎉🎶 🎻 Where can more of Jerry's videos be found ? 😊
Damn it. Now I want a Mandolin.
Super.
I WILL LOOK FOR A MANDOLIN INSTRUMENT... GREAT VIDEO!
Jerry makes some of the finest mandolins you can buy !
Timing is Everything in play any kind of string instrument or as far that goes any instrument ... .. .
I love how excited the blonde lady is.
Perhaps an insignificant question. But, do you ever use a strap for the mandolin - or do you find a string adequate?
What do you get if you drop a piano down a mine shaft? A Flat Miner! LOL! Get it?
I don't get it
😂
I had a bad day today but that just made me bust out laughing!
@@rjf9784 Glad it put a smile on your face! :)
You can't hurry love and you can't fudge up music's principles ("theory," if you will).
thank you
Katiefayegirl I
close-ups on the fretboard would be really helpful
If you are Right Handed the Right hand is your Melody Hand it Holds it in Timing , something if your Left Handed , Fingers on the Fingerboard is your Harmony scale to the song you're playing that the easy part
It would have been nicer, if you showed a closeup of your cord finger settings, or at least explain what frets you are using to make the cords spoke of in video.... Just a thought..
It's more important to understand chord shapes, and not specific chord names with mandolin. That's because they're all movable, which is part of the theory Jerry is explaining. He is using the G chop chord shape, or the two finger G chord. www.mandolincafe.com/cgi-bin/chords/ch.pl?chord=G
I'm looking at that G shape and if it is 3rd fret E string, 2nd fret A string 4th fret D string and 5fth fret G string then that doesn't work in standard tuning. It would have to be 5th fret D string and 4th fret on G string. What am I not seeing here? is the mandolin tuned differently or am I seeing the finger positions wrong?
You want your ring finger on the 5th fret of the D strings (G note) and pinky on the 7th fret of the G (D note).
This is a challenge for a lot of beginners; BIG stretch. The "Mel Bay Easy Chord" would be just fingers 1 & 2 (same place) and open G and D strings. Great for Folk songs; not so good for Blue Grass.
While this is a very good lesson video. What are the chord shapes? Can’t see his hand.
hey jerry!
wich mandolin is good for begginer?
Haralabos Lukatos Rogue 100a is only $50 and sounds pretty good with a set of $6 D'addario strings
Can someone tell us the names of the tunes he does in this video, please?
My Blueridge Mountain Home
May i know which 3chords you did play at the end part of the lesson?
G, C, and D
2:40 that lady took a phone call!
Hmm, not sure that playing minors in that closed position is for a 101 class.
Correction "i meant to say BOOKS",who gives a shit.
TMI slow down...lose the audience and get the camera person to zoom to the fretboard.
Some good information in this video, but I disagree with his approach to learning chords. The 4-finger closed position bluegrass chop chord is a huge obstacle for people, especially people with small hands, and it may be impossible for many children. Plus, that chord is really a bluegrass convention. It's really not useful at all in any other style of music. I suppose if you're only interested in pure bluegrass and no other style of music, there might be some merit to it.
I can't play a 4-finger chord, but I got a lot out of this lesson anyway. It's very useful for jam sessions.
Perhaps that is why he showed the easier 2 finger version also. He explained how difficult it is for a beginner to make a 4 finger G chord. He is a bluegrass mandolin player teaching some basic bluegrass method.
The mandolin is so much more than a bluegrass instrument. And you’ll never use the chop in anything other than bluegrass.
Great lesson but when he says "Here's the only chord you need..." I wish he would have stopped to show the actual correct finger positioning. I can't tell from this video where he's got his ring and pinky finger.
he's showing the one marked "Big Chop G" in this diagram: mandolincompass.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/easy-g-chop-chord.jpg
@@brendanoleary8854 Thank you so very much!
He's going way to fast and much to complicated for that bunch, they're completely lost.
Definitely not a good class for beginners. Trying to teach people a G chord (bluegrass) the difficulty will discourage people and most will give up. There are more ways of doing it than just one. Most will think I can not make that chord and just give up the instrument. I am sure there is a better method of teaching a beginning class than this.
That's why he also showed the two-finger version.
you guys with the critical comments need to learn manners.
I fail to see where pointing out the obvious warrants the "need to learn manners". Perhaps the instructor needs to respect his audience/students/and the most successful music publisher in American history. I may not be a Mel Bay devotee but I would not slag him. This instructor is self absorbed. Were I a student in this group, I would have walked.
Melinda Manthey 👎🏼
@@melindamanthey2757 Were you to walk out of the class Melinda it would have become instantly more fun. This instructor just taught us how to turn a two finger chord into a I, IV, V pattern for every key! I did not get that from my four Mel Bay books... Mr. Rosa delivers the best 13:48 Mando 101 lesson on TH-cam. Worth rewinding the play along sections.
what about your money back then hoof it.
@@melindamanthey2757 Well you are not a student in the class as you are watching it for free on the internet. But as this pertains to "pointing out the obvious" and "the need to learn manners", I don't think anyone would accuse you of having any.
...it is so ridiculous to see anyone teach the (G) closed- chord formation in that manner; many can't stretch their little finger to the 7th fret ! The simplest and best way is to place little finger on 5th fret D string, and ring finger on 4th fret (G) string ! Then, with 1st and 2nd fingers in their proper places, this closed-chord formation can be moved anywhere on finger board, i. e. , where space will permit !
i see creative criticism all around,i studied physics,math,digital,analog etc,for electronics engineering as a technician,i had/have more than one source to get information from,see that i said BOOKS,i DID NOT HAVE the internet to see the plethora of freebie lessons,i also play guitar,when i started the internet was still in military hands,stop fucking whining ,you need a few perspectives to learn,one news paper gives one view of the news(mostly fake lefty ideolo"i"logical BS).
SO cheer up folks,taking away one piece of info is a help,i hope i did not offend anyone,if so,"OH DEAR ,HOW SAD,NEVER MIND".
