Discuss the Mandolin lesson: Will the Circle Be Unbroken Build-a-Break

https://banjobenclark.com/lessons/will-the-circle-be-unbroken-build-a-break-mandolin-advanced

Three hot solos here, folks, and presented with the “build-a-break” approach that teaches HOW to build solos, not just how to play these! We’re in the key of G and start low with a basic melody (plus a trick or two), then we’ll beef that one up, then go up and octave and play some licks that’ll make yer leg shake…watch out.

Can you make a play along track that just plays the basic melody of this song by Friday?

You can do that yourself with the tef tabs…

so challenging yet so fun.
I have spent the entire day on the basic and I’m still in the weeds!
gold pick is the best.

I have realized that the tef files, although kinda computerized sounding, are invaluable to finding the groove and placement of notes within the tunes. Glad I came around to using them tefs!

Cannot not print from TEF where the line is on one page. For example, a line on the front page goes beyond the width of the page printing on the back of the page. It seems the lines are not limited the the page width border. How can that be corrected?

I’d suggest you try this:

Go to File->Print->Preferences and check to see if Orientation is set to Portrait.
Also go to File->Print->Preferences>Advanced and make sure the paper size is set to Letter (or proper size).

Try pdf output to test it out before you send it to a printer.

Download the pdf which is formatted for printing :wink:
