Discuss the Mandolin lesson: Licks From Chord Shapes

The longer you play, the more you’ll realize that everything on the mando is connected. This lesson is all about playing from a common chord position you already know, and finding some killer licks all around it!

Great lesson. I enjoy this lesson because you can put it directly to use in a song. Thanks for the song suggestion.

Wonderful lesson. I enjoyed it. @BanjoBen explains clearly; boils it down without dumbing down, and makes it easier to “eat our vegetables.”

Thanks for another practical, creative lesson, Ben! Sliding into or out of the blues notes adds a fun dimension. (Just a housekeeping issue… as of Sunday night 5/17 the tab files are hitting error codes instead of opening. Is that what you intended, or should we be able to open the tabs for these lick suggestions?)

Thanks! Hmmm, I’m able to open them on my end. It may be that you had the page open too long, at which case the links expire for security reasons. Please revisit/refresh the page and try again.
