I've been playing guitar for several years... and just got my first mandolin for my birthday! Already learned my first 3 chords thanks to your video :)
Yes I can relate to the chord shapes. I was looking the other week and I was really surprised how much you can carry over from acoustic guitar to mandolin and also banjo. I'm thinking of buying birth and mandolin and a banjo
Coming from a guitar background I was recently intrigued with mandolin I have no idea on cords or anything you just helped me out with those three chords I'm already having fun. thanks 👍
Very helpful! Thank you! I've just purchased my first mandolin and I can't wait to learn to play it! I play guitar so it's a bit hard to switch to these chord formations and not jump back to the guitar ones. Such a cool sounding instrument though! It's going to be fun to learn!
@@jemmermusic Thanks! Shall try next week. There is one used instrument with 4 times 3 strings in a music shop which closed down. Either take that or order a new one in Germany. Can you recommend one for a beginner? I play already different string instruments as beginner and began also with violin which has same names of the strings like Mandoline and that may help. Also have guitars with 6 and 12 Strings and Ukuleles. so it should not too difficult to learn Mandoline. Greetings from Germany
I've never used a Fishman for mandolin... I recommend a K&K Mandolin Twin + an LR Baggs Venue DI... you will get great, useable tone, in every venue, every time. You've got to learn to use the DI/EQ though. Blending it with a mic whenever possible is also good, but the K&K does a decent job on it's own.
Hello Jackson! Thank you for this video! I subscribed to you. I play piano, guitar, and ukulele. I have yet to buy my first Mandolin. Do you have a few suggestions for a first one? I like the f style but want to stick to at or under $100 for my beginner. I appreciate any guidance you have.
Hi Raeley, thanks for watching my videos. Buying a beginner mandolin for $100 can be done, but it's not usually a great idea... Mandolins aren't as popular as guitars, and thus, it costs more to produce each one because they're not built to the same production scale as guitars. A $100 guitar can be ok, and will last several years. A $100 mandolin is generally unplayable, won't stay in tune, and will make for an unpleasant experience as a beginner. If you can find a used mandolin for $300-500, I think you'll be better off. It will play better (lower action, better tone, hold a tune), and it will hold it's value, so if you ever decide to re-sell it, you're more likely to get your money back. Sweetwater has mandolins like this Epiphone for $200-ish, but I wouldn't recommend them. 5-10 years ago, these mandolins cost $80-100 and they weren't great. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EF30ASGH--epiphone-mm-30s. - - Maybe look for something like this: www.mandolincafe.com/ads/191067#191067 - - - - or this: www.elderly.com/products/the-loar-honey-creek-f-style-mandolin?variant=26856112029760¤cy=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjw852XBhC6ARIsAJsFPN1T5i27aq9UOvSwqDF6_betETAZSDoo05SfBQDkT_vLQxyQiY6ajDwaAo16EALw_wcB - - Good luck! Have fun playing.
You've probably figured it out by now, but if anyone else is wondering, you'd mute both. He's referring to the doublets of strings as a single string, as they're the same note in the same octave on a mandolin.
Conveniently with this video alone, I can now play the shugabush island song from my singing monsters. (I know it’s actually a cover of “love or money” by Kristan Bush, but that’s besides the point)
Hi, I’ve played the guitar and the ukulele for years but I’ve just started learning the mandolin and it really hurts my fingers and it looks so much more difficult 😅 honestly hope it works out for me but idk
Hi Klaas, yes, E is the major 3rd of C and it could work in the chord. It just depends on the inversion you want to play. They each have a different sonic flavor. It's just a matter of preference. Have fun playing!
I cannot for the life of me play the D chord with my pointer finger and middle, I typically have to use middle and ring. I also have issues with accidentally muting strings, which may come from my bassist background where the hand is walking around the fretboard and accidental muting of other strings is usually fine.
Howdy HaffTonne. Playing the mandolin usually requires a different hand/wrist angle than guitar or bass. Take a look at this video, and skip to 1:55 for the info about hand angle. The slight shift in angle changes how your fingers approach the frets, and can help them stay out of the way of open strings. Have fun. th-cam.com/video/7WGc5F4XtQU/w-d-xo.html
Just unboxed my first mandolin (I’m a guitar player) thanks to your video I’m already playing it 👍
That's what I love to hear! Thanks for watching. I'm so happy the video is helpful.

Thanks so much. In 59 and have just taken the mandelin up and love it
Well I'm 60!! And finally getting to play around with to the mandolin that was my dad's. Learning jingle bells for the grandkids!
Love the Prine pic on the wall!
Thanks! I just got a LOAR in vintage brown. The perfling on it is gorgeous Well made, like an Eastman 305!

Thanks for watching. Nice to see a local on here!
Hello Jackson, I am Folk musician and songwriter Lane Cohen! Nice to meet you! How are you?
Is that the same cord's as a resonator bouzouki?
Would you recommend fisherman's pickups for a mandolin?
I've never used a Fishman for mandolin... I recommend a K&K Mandolin Twin + an LR Baggs Venue DI... you will get great, useable tone, in every venue, every time. You've got to learn to use the DI/EQ though. Blending it with a mic whenever possible is also good, but the K&K does a decent job on it's own.
You had me at John Prine!
Very Cool Man....Thanks

@@jemmermusic Musicians friend...Rouge mandolin 129.00 Best bang for your buck..
Do you mute the pair of E strings together or just the thicker E string when you play the C chord?
You've probably figured it out by now, but if anyone else is wondering, you'd mute both. He's referring to the doublets of strings as a single string, as they're the same note in the same octave on a mandolin.
Thanks!!
Why do you mute the E string when strumming a C chord? The note e is the major third of C major.
Conveniently with this video alone, I can now play the shugabush island song from my singing monsters.

Shred on, Micah, shred on.

@@jemmermusic Very helpful, thank you! I've been practicing jumping from chord to chord (the whole 3 that I know) to increase accuracy and speed.
Ever notice how mandolin chord shapes are the same as guitar just upside down?
👍👍👍
Make a video on oval hole mandolin . Watched you subscribed you , notifications are on . Do make a video fast
same as the guy below. Guitar to mandolin
I have one that I got from my grandad Pre-War Neopolitan Mandolinetto and I'm a Virgin at it
The C sounds so different on my mandolin. I must be holding the instrument incorrectly
Thank you!
Thanks!
