Good grief! Arpeggios, picking hand technique, left-right hand coordination, scales, music theory (did I miss anything?) all in one six minute video. That's beyond impressive. Thank you so much for this, David. I'm going to be practicing this one A LOT :-)
I find I can follow the first few and even understand why they are what they are, but even slowed down 50% it's quite hard to follow the whole set, I start getting lost after the first couple of B arpeggios, so definitely something to take in bitesize chunks and build on but useful for teaching music theory in action as well as for the finder exercise. Thanks, and congratulations on becoming a father, it's life changing for the better.
O I like this a lot, thank you! Is there a theory-internal logic to the keys moved through, or is it just cause it sounds good? Can't remember the last time I went A maj > B min for instance. I guess I should be working with iis more?
Not sure which was more impressive, the execise, or your ability to talk and say what you were doing all the way through it. Thanks!
I was in alternating between awe of your pinky dexterity and your ability to talk while performing this exercise.

That was a blend of fantastic, inspiring and soothing… not how you mastered combo that for a mandolin tutorial, but thank you!!
Former clarinet player and I loved playing arpeggios. I've not had any luck finding a mandolin exercise book with arpeggios.
Same, that area is very much lacking from my mandolin education. Most books just have scales, chords and tunes.
I’d be inclined to look at books of violin arpeggios since the fingering is identical.
@@pertinaciousD Thanks!
Nice lesson, plan to go nail this as soon as get back to my house.
Thanks so much David! Awesome!
Wow finally made the time to run this whole thing 🥵😮💨you’ve helped so much to bring my playing to the next level. Officially subscribed 🫡
Very new player. This was beautiful
Beautiful. It's giving vibes of the most famous song by Stevie Wonder.
You are amazing David. Thank you!
Thanks!

Have you considered narrating children's books like this as a side hustle?

A ii chord is a substitute or precursor to either a IV or V chord
