How to Play in Other Keys Part 1

Hi Everyone,

As you know the topic we are focusing on this month is how to play in how to play the mandolin in other keys if you are tuned to Open D tuning. 

If you haven’t already, you are going to want to check out this week’s video. It covers playing the mandolin in ADAD tuning in the key of E using a Capo. I know, I know, real mandolin players don’t use capos. At least that’s what the snobs say, but I say do whatever it takes to learn, and make you a better player.  You can access the video here.
