She switches from playing triads to adding flatted sevens and blues notes in the thirds. This is a really great study on the positioning of the scales and how to expand when you start to apply more colorful notes in the scale.

Love the way she makes practice musical, not just exercises

Thanks for giving back and reaching out to your fans! That’s truly excellent!

Oh, you have to practice. That’s what I’ve been doing wrong.

Sierra is so amazing to watch. Great teaching too! Thanks Sierra!

Nice lesson to open up the fretboard and inspire. Thanks to Reverb I hooked up with my first mandolin -- a used Eastman md505 sunburst for$600 I'm just lovin'. Can't wait to see Sierra live in a couple weeks. Life is good!

Many thanks for the tips, Sierra. I'm a pretty good guitarist, and I just this week bought my first mandolin. This was exactly where I needed to start.

Thanks so much....such a humble a talented lady!

Wow you really explained that well, thanks. Makes a change for someone's who's that talented to go nice and slow for newbies like me. Brilliant. Xx

One of the most helpful lessons I've seen on here! I'm a Sierra Hull fan now!

I play guitar but I’m wanting to get into mandoline. You’re instruction is easy to understand and your voice and delivery is easy too. You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you Sierra!

You're simply awesome Sierra.

I follow her for ages such a brillant artist

This was actually super helpful and explained in a wonderful way. Thanks, Sierra!

Thank you for sharing this great warm up. I shall put it in my everyday playing routine..

OK…. This is a lesson that is a big step along the way. ( I have a broken foot at present so I have the time to go back to basics and get to a clearer solid style. This is one I’ll sit with for a few days with different scales and tunes) Thank you for this Serra!!

Watching you play man do leaves me mesmerized. Even when you just play the major scale in G. Just love your music :)

learned more from you in 5 min than all my other lessons-thanx

Excellent lesson. Really helpful and well explained.

This is excellent. Thank you for helping the aspiring mando players. I'm going to start working on this now!!

You make scales so understandable. Thank you so much!

I agree very helpful and easy to understand

I ❤️ the sound. Watching from London UK 🇬🇧

She bring joy to so many.

Thank you. For a beginner that was great to learn, well explained .

Thank you . I usually play guitar. However, I have a Gibson 1916 A-4 top condition mandolin. It's a round hole and has unsurpassed tone. I really need to play & study more. I seem to get started and then get busy writing a new song on guitar. Thank you for your instructional inspiration. Such a beautiful instrument with inlaid ivory running pegs, tortas pick guard, rare solid one piece maple top, extended fret board, and perfect neck. The more it's played the better it sounds. Got to apply myself more & advance. Thank you.

You're a great teacher.

Really, really good. Most tutorials for guitar and mando don’t get through to me. Thank you.

I have a Eastman MD 604 coming tomorrow. I'm really excited!

Greetings from a Vietnamese Mandolinist

Great exercise......the old time jazz giants did this with guitar arpeggios and scales. Play arpeggios or scales starting with each finger ....go nonstop...go up an octave then back down landing on the next finger (pinky, ring, middle, index and you come back or vise versa)...after playing all 4 fingers start the next octave without stopping. Play all octaves til you can't go any further. play the whole neck without stopping. You'll see every fingering in every position. You will have to do low, high, low, high

Thanks for sharing this

Trying to play those diatonic arpeggios backwards is blowing my mind! This is a great exercise!

Thank you. Very, very useful!!

Such basic stuff... and I had no idea. This was great!

Incredibly helpful

Love this, thanks.

Great lesson. Thx

Since you started playing at age 8, I thought you would be interested to know I started about three weeks ago at age 68. I still don’t have callouses on my fingers. I found this exercise quite interesting and have spent a few hours trying to see how you’re handling the transitions and intervals. Is it possible for you to put a tab of what you’re doing for us noobs? You are a phenomenal player and your singing voice, to my ears, is second only to Judith Durham. Thanks for posting your content. I enjoy the songs and the tips. I’m only hoping, some day, to play the mandolin well enough that listeners will know what piece I’m playing without being told.

Brilliant! Thanks!

She has the most perfect right hand form. Those knuckles are stacked beautiful, and the wrist movements are the more free and flowing I've ever witnessed. Thile buzzes more notes than she does....😍😍😍😍😍

Thanks for the great lesson

She is brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sierra... you are SO brillient!!! Just LOVE everything you do! You could just sit there. Maybe grin once in awhile. And I'd LOVE IT!!! Cause...I just love you SOOO MUCH!!! We are SOOO BLESSED to be able to have you on Earth shining your Light 🎶🌻🧚‍♀️🌷

Would you do one on chop chords

Cool hat

mandolin fingering same like violin fingering.... greeting from bali island

Learn the scale on each string

Where can i buy ur bennie?

Thanks for the nice lesson Sierra. Just starting to learn to solo, I need brain food.

Sierra, do a lesson on your song E tune ,i want to learn it , its one of my favorites !!!

Which pickup is she using on the mandolin?

Is this the Jethro warm up scale? It sounds 85% like it.

Can someone please for the love of God explain to me the chords she plays at 5:30 I've watched her hands a dozen times and can't seem to catch it.

Wow :)

Is that a standard mando? Can't tell if it's big or you're small?!? Either way, excellent!

Does this work for all fretted string instruments?

I'm a newbie but I believe that it would just work for instruments that are turned like a mandolin (with GDAE). The interval pattern would be different on other instruments. (I'm referring to the specific pattern, not the general concept..)

@penguindrum264

It's basically position shifting which applies to all stringed instruments. Using 7th arpeggios may make the shifts easier but creates a different sound. Also can be applied to pentatonics which players like Mateus Asato uses but he doubles the target note twice which is common in blues. On electric guitar there are also other approaches to increasing your range, tapping and 4 notes per string that I know of.

Nice mandolin! I use to have a 1913 Gibson F4. I kicked myself a thousand times for selling it.

Man, I base all my scales on luck. I didn't know ya had to know anything.
