Radim Zenkl’s Mandolin Primer
A Learning Player’s Guide to Essential Skills and Techniques
The fundamentals of Radim Zenkl’s masterful mandolin style has been broken down in this primer for aspiring mandolin players. He takes you from understanding how a mandolin should be set up to warming up properly, tone quality, right and left hand techniques, building up speed and many more insights into becoming a complete mandolin player. An added benefit of this comprehensive lesson is that all the techniques can be applied to other picked and fretted instruments, like the guitar.
The lesson starts with basic tuning, proper playing positions, and quickly gets into four right hand techniques including playing from the wrist, forearm, forearm rotation and fingers. Zenkl digs into cross picking, tremolo, speed development, muting, pizzicato and how to practice. He also gives insight into developing coordination with the picking and fretting hands using examples from standard songs like “My Grandfather’s Clock” and “Whiskey Before Breakfast.”
Whether a student has never picked up a mandolin or has a little experience this lesson will deepen your understanding of mandolin techniques and will be a valuable learning tool.
