Click here for free sample mandolin lessons from Mike Marshall!
The right hand is everything in mandolin. Whether you’re playing solo or with an ensemble, you need to control what your right hand is doing.
In his lesson on Open Chords here at ArtistWorks, Mike Marshall demonstrates a flowing, strumming relaxed pattern. The pattern is down, down up, down down up. The annotation of the bluegrass standard Mike uses to teach “Nine Pound Hammer” is excerpted below. It shows how the pattern is used in the context of a song.
The Infamous Stringdusters Live at the Fillmore
Wed, 04/05/2017 - 9:56am
This isn't official footage by any means, but it's still pretty good! It was filmed on a cellphone from one of our production guys here who was at the Infamous Stringdusters show at the Fillmore in San Francisco recently. The footage is a little shaky and overexposed but it gives you a sense of the great energy that was happening that night live. There are 4 videos which highlight some great Dobro playing from Andy including a few solos.
