This lesson is the "light bulb" moment for new mandolin players. Helps you understand how to start beginning to take breaks in any chord. Awesome!!! Thanks

I bought all Bill Monroe's Bear box sets learned and practiced all I could since 2004 . Your videos are wonderful . A lot of ideas were taking their slow assed time coming to me . These videos are shoving them out. Thanks.!!!

This was extremely helpful! I'm a guitar player crossing over to playing Mandolin full time. I've been struggling with finding that certain pattern that I needed to get some breaks in for other keys, and this was it. You broke it down perfectly. Thank you so much!

I want to thank you for putting this video on YouTube. I'm a beginner mandolin player (63 years old) and this is a most helpful video. Again, Thanks!

Absolutely opens a whole new world up for me ! I might add that everyone should also learn their fret board every string and notes on each fret. Or you won't know where you are.

Great "missing link" lesson! This gives us bass/guitar guys something to hang our hats on. I've been playing more since I got a decent mando, and this really helps show where the landmarks are.
