Use the "home" pattern (straight

Now we're going to move everything down two Frets.
It's the same major scale, but we'll start it with the 2nd finger.

Starting on the 1st Finger
1st Ab, A, Eb, E

FFcP
Down two more Frets. Again, same major scale, but we'll start it with the 1st finger.
Note: you'll be using the same fingering for A major, But this gives you more "stretch!!

You might not be used to
voicing patterns in intervals of
4ths, but this is good for your
ear and foreign to the mandolin.
It will give you an "edgier,"
contemporary sound to your
improvisation.

Extra Credit:
Move all four exercises up a
string, and do the keys of G, F, Eb,
and A. The fingering is identical!
Move everything up one fret, and do
the keys of C#, B, A, and Eb
I’m just a mediocre mandolin player. However, I do know how to move around the
fretboard pretty well for chord changes and improvising in jams. Sometimes a beginner
level player will ask me about what I’m doing. These are the “rules” I use when jamming.
About the only things you need to know to apply these are:
- What’s a 1, 4 and 5 chord
- How to find a specific note on the fretboard

I - Chord Changes
For all these changes, keep your fingers in the same position (fret wise) and only change
strings. Works not only with full chords, but double stops and single notes also. You’ll
usually end up with an open string when you shift. To be safe, don’t strike it (although for
some chords it will be OK - try and see how it sounds). Even if you end up with a 2 note
“chord“, that’s OK. (Note: Letters in ( ) represent the 1, 4 and 5 chords in the key of G).

II - Basic Pentatonic Scale
This scale can be used in improvising over chord changes in bluegrass and country,
particularly. Once you memorize it and know where to find the “root note” of a chord
(R1 in the figure below) on the fretboard, you can play in any key! Just with this simple
pattern and some judicious “jumping around” (i.e., don’t always play notes in sequence)
you can do some good sounding improvising. Also, many of the notes in a song melody
you’re trying to learn can be found in this pattern.
Example: The root note here (R1) is the G note, 3rd string, 5th fret. R2 is the root note an
octave above R1. The other numbers are the note numbers in the pentatonic scale.
pentatonic scale in section III. (Note: You might see some of these double stop names
used in other mandolin documents. I didn’t invent them).

Short Double Stop
As you change chords in a song, then change where the root note lies for improvising over
that chord. E.g., if you switch to a D chord, then R1 is a D note. See rules in section I on
where the new root note will be in relation to the chord you’re currently playing.

Hint: Why not start another basic pentatonic scale at R2?
III - Expanded Pentatonic Scale
The same as the above, but with additional strings used. If R1 lies on other than the 3rd
string, not all additional strings shown are available (unless you have a highly unusual
mandolin).

III - Double Stops
Double stops are 2 notes played at the same time on different strings. Usually they are 2
notes from a chord. Here are some basic double stop positions. They are always on
adjacent strings, so only 2 strings are shown here. Also, only the lowest fret used is
shown. Just find the root note “R” on the fretboard for the chord you are in and use the
relative spacing shown here. Look at a double stop and see how it fits into the expanded
When you’re in one chord, move to a 2nd or 3rd double stop position for a varied sound.
Play both notes at once, or alternate between them. Mix double stops in with single notes
of the pentatonic scale.
Now, apply section I to the double stops as the chord changes. Move “R” to a different
string (usually) or fret per the rules. E.g., in the key of G, when changing from G (the 1
chord) to D (the 5 chord), move your current R position one set of strings towards your
feet, but on the same fret as the G chord.
IV - Apply Rules OK, now memorize the above and impress you friends at the next jam. !
