The mandolin belongs to the guitar family of musical instruments. Considerably smaller, the mandolin has eight strings which are paired together in four courses that are strummed or plucked to produce sound. Mandolins are typically tuned the same as a violin, but can be tuned to produce the same fretting patterns as the standard guitar. Additionally, mandolins can be used to play tremolos like the guitar. Learn how to play tremolo on the mandolin in this video series featuring musician Levin Schwartz. Levin will show you how to play tremolo with mandolin chords such as D Major, G Major, and G Minor. Additionally, he will demonstrate how to play mandolin tremolo on one string, two strings, three strings, and four strings.

 
About the Presenter

Levin Schwartz Levin Schwartz lives in Northampton, MA where he spends his days playing music with his band 'The Amity Front' and teaching private guitar and mandolin lessons at The Fretted Instrument Workshop in Amherst MA. As a private music instructor he has four primary goals: first, lessons will be empowering. He attempts to conduct lessons so that every lesson moves his students through the material with a feeling of empowerment. He believes that everyone has the ability to make music. In fact, there is an abundance of research out there concerning the universality of music. Many features of music are universal, as well as, apparently, innate. All societies have music: all sing lullaby-like songs to their infants, and most produce tonal music. However, even though music is universal, its source is unique in each of us. Therefore, as a teacher Levin approaches each student's needs differently.dkdk
