Hi everyone,
Over the past couple of months, I have received some requests to record some jam videos with mandolin and/or banjo instead of guitar.

For this week's jam videos, I have taken 6 songs that were recorded on previous jam videos, and played mandolin for them instead of guitar. To make this work, for the sake of being able to play along with the videos more easily, I have played along with a click track (metronome), so that when I am playing the chop rhythm on the off-beats, it still remains clear where the down-beats are in the measures. For next week's videos, I intend on taking 6 more songs recorded on previous jam videos and playing banjo for them instead of guitar.

I hope you'll enjoy playing along with me on these songs.

Beginner Jam:
Boil The Cabbage Down - A (tempo:120 beats per minute)
My Home's Across The Blue Ridge Mountains - G (100 beats per minute)
Nine Pound Hammer - B (108 bpm)
