Can anyone recommend a good beginner DVD for the mandolin? Mel Bay offers several, but I was also wondering about the 2 intro dvds that “Folk of the wood” sell-One is by Mickey Cochran and the other one is by their Luthier, Tradd Tidwell. Both of these DVDs are around $40. Most of the commercial marketed ones (such as Mel Bay’s) are under $20.
I’d just like a recommendation on a good intro DVD for beginners (Watching proper technique on a video/DVD is a lot better than just reaching about the proper technique.)
Many years ago, I decided I wanted to learn how to play the mandolin so I went out and bought a cheapo hondo mandolin. Had it for years, then in 2007 I purchased a Morgan Monroe MMS-4 Phantom of the Opry Mandolin. I retired the Hondo to a friend. Now in 2015, to keep the MMS-4 company, I have purchased a Gold Tone 800 Octave Mandolin. Maybe one day I will purchase a custom built Mandolin.
