Bluegrass Licks Vol. 3: Mandolin Lesson

In this third instalment of Bluegrass Licks on the mandolin, we’ll dive into an open position set of licks, in the key of G. In the lesson we’ll cover an example break, over 23 individual licks for the G, C & D chords plus the open position arpeggios and major blues and minor pentatonic scales that are used within the licks. While the lesson is suited to the advancing picker, this lesson will get the ideas under your fingers – and is quite accessible for the advanced beginner/intermediate picker looking to get started improvising in the key of G.
