Technique 7 - Shifting Positions

11 minutes ago
1 min read

This is Lesson 7 in a 10-part series on Proper Mandolin Technique and in this lesson, we’ll look at Shifting Positions. This is the act of moving our hand around the neck, taking us away from our normal position (1st position) and back again. We'll look at the theory behind the different positions and we'll discuss how a position shift should sound (hint: it shouldn't sound of anything :-) ). Once you've tried the exercises in this lesson, try the Grey Eagle tune which has lots of position shifts in it.
