Mandolin Video Lesson: Doublestops 1

Exploring Doublestops 1 is a downloadable video mandolin lesson that teaches you how to apply doublestop harmony to your mandolin solo lines. My earlier beginner lessons show you how to play some doublestops and this explains them more fully so you can find them and apply them to other tunes on your own.

Multiple ways of choosing the harmonizing note are discussed and you'll learn some useful "turnaround" licks in the process. This lesson is the first in a two part series. The second lesson is called Exploring Doublestops 2.

The download includes 21:10 minute video lesson and a PDF file with the tablature and standard notation for the lesson.
