D Minor Mandolin Tablature: One Song, Many Styles
Recomended level: Beginner
Learn the D minor scale for mandolin! The tablature shows you the frets for the one octave scale and all of the "neighbor notes" that are available in first position on the mandolin. Use the suggested fret hand fingerings and pick directions.
How you practice makes all the difference. Try to play smooth and connected. Each note should ring up until the point the next one is played. To do this, don't set the pick on the string too early. Don't place a fret hand finger down or lift it too early either. The pick motion and fret hand motions need to happen precisely, at the same time. Work on this at very slow speeds. The longer you hold fingers down, the more you are engaging and exercising those muscles.
All Minor scales have 7 notes. In D minor they are D - E - F - G - A - Bb - C. The key of D minor is the related to F major. They share the same notes but have different starting points. For example, the notes in F major are F - G - A - Bb - C - D - E
