Discuss the Mandolin lesson: The Entertainer

https://banjobenclark.com/lessons/the-entertainer-mandolin

This one is a blast to play in the key of C. It’s full of swingy, jazzy, bluesy licks that run up and down the neck! I’ve included tab for the mandolin solo, unison solo, and backup chords!

Ben, Thanks so much for this version of The Entertainer. I am a beginner on the mandolin and a new gold member, but I find, to my surprise, that with practice I can play this tune. I love ragtime. Is there any way you could provide a mandolin lesson for the Maple Leaf Rag?
