The Clever Way to Learn & Practice Bluegrass Music
Milwuakee Blues in the 3rd Position is a challenge worth undertaking. Learn to play up the neck to unlock more beautiful possibilities on the mandolin.
Something that will help you train to play this song and others in 3rd position is learning and practicing the C Major Scale in 3rd Position. Scale practice is foundational and very important. Always aim for slow, steady and smooth practice, especially in the beginning.
3rd position on the mandolin means your 1st finger hangs around the 5th or 6th fret, which is where your 3rd finger normally is in 1st position. 1st position is just your normal "home base" on mandolin for your fret hand.
