Mandolin tablatures for Movable Double Stops
Exercises
Recomended level: Intermediate
The Songs and exercises here stem from our learning path with video lessons. It's called Movable Double Stops for mandolin. You'll learn double stop patterns for the most important chords in the key of G - the 1, 4, & 5. In the Key of G that's G, C, & D. The patterns will apply in any key, you just need to know your 1, 4, & 5 and memorize the shapes and fret distance from one shape to another. With enough practice. The shapes, and distances will become second nature, and you'll start to see the "layout" and logic of the mandolin fretboard layout.
After working through the exercise try out the accompanying arrangements of "Banks of the Ohio" that incorporate these movable shapes.
