Octave Mandolin Techniques with Matt Flinner

Learn mandolin with one of today's premiere players. Join Matt Flinner for an online course exploring the wonders of that rare but fun-to-play instrument, the octave mandolin. This course will teach students how to play backup in various keys plus lead on fiddle tunes, folk melodies, Irish tunes and more. Hints on how to get around on this bigger instrument will help students play melodies and backup with more facility and flexibility. Each week, students will be given two songs or tunes to learn lead (if they want to) and backup to, along with exercises to help make more sense of the fretboard and help students make the most of this beautiful instrument.
The course is intended for students of all ability levels. Exercises will be given at a variety of levels each week, and students will be encouraged to focus on the exercises and/or tunes that are best suited to their level. Students do not necessarily need to have an octave mandolin to take the course; all exercises and tunes can be played on a regular mandolin—though the fingering will be different.

The course fee is $225. You can go ahead and register here, and we'll send an invoice via PayPal for the course fee. If you'd prefer a different method of payment, email us at bluegrassmando101@gmail.com and we'll work it out!
