Here’s the perfect way to get started playing the mandolin! Even if you have never played the instrument before, Steve Kaufman’s step-by-step lesson shows you how to tune up, hold your instrument and play your first chords and songs. You'll be playing
Down in the Valley, Amazing Grace, Will the Circle Be Unbroken and
Blue Ridge Cabin Home before you know it!
Getting off to a solid start is essential, and Steve teaches you the notes and scales, pick technique, rhythmic counting, chord changes and other basic necessities that you’ll need in order to play correctly. He starts you at the most basic beginner’s level, but by the time you’ve finished this lesson you’ll be playing rhythm and even taking lead on fiddle tunes such as
Cotton-Eyed Joe, Old Joe Clark, Liberty and
Soldier’s Joy. In short, you’ll really be picking the mandolin!
