Chord charts, tab for mandola?

**carojester** · Oct-08-2011, 10:45am

hi everyone,
I've been looking for some resources on playing mandola. YouTube has very few videos, and I haven't found many other resources such as chord charts or scales, and nothing for tab. Can you direct me to anything good you've found?
I know that chords and such are just a fifth apart from mandolin, and use all the same fretboard patterns, but I would really like to have some printed material to look at. I keep playing the mandola like it's a mandolin but that will be a handicap once I start to play with other musicians.
Thanks!

Caroline

Do a google search on Mandola chords. A chart comes up.

For the chords, go here, and adjust the "tuning" (far right box on the top) by selecting the "standard mandola tuning" in the "Common Tunings" pull-down.

I really like this site. You can adjust to either see or hide chord voicings with open or muted strings, and even adjust the fret stretch maximums. Good site.
