This is my go-to fingerpicking warmup—and it works wonders. You’ll play the same pattern three ways: first with 5 fingers, then thumb–index–middle, then just thumb & index. Switching between these styles over the same groove trains your fingers to calibrate like a machine. It’s deceptively simple, but if you start using it daily, you’ll feel the difference in your speed, control, and dexterity almost instantly. 🎸🔥 Ready to take your playing to the next level? 👉 Head to JustinJohnsonGuitar.com

How bout some "blues"grass? 😄 The mandolin always has such a rootsy, back-porch vibe, and I've never understood why more people don't use it for blues music. My mandolin was staring at me from the corner this morning with that look like, "why haven't you played me, lately?" so I dusted it off and started fingerpicking some Robert Johnson "Love in Vain." I've never tried fingerpicking on the mandolin before, mainly because it's so small, it's in a high register, and the strings are so close toge
