In this free mandolin video lesson by Brad Laird you’ll learn the standard versions of the G and C chord. The G chord can be moved up two frets to play an A chord and the C chord can be moved up two frets to play a D chord. Brad will also demonstrate how to make the standard bluegrass “chop sound” with a mandolin. The bluegrass chop is an integral part to the rhythm section of any bluegrass band.
