For the beginning mandolin player, two finger chords are a quick and easy way to get started. These open chords sound great but are hard to dampen or mute to create a percussive chop when playing rhythm. Most people then progress to playing barre chords using three to four strings. But what if you have small hands and are having trouble with those long stretches?
Brad Laird will show you how to make an easier G chord that can still be used as a chop.
