In Joe’s Octave Mandolin Course, you’ll learn to transfer what you know on the mandolin to its bigger cousin and how to exploit the octave mandolin’s potential for more complex, guitar-oriented accompaniment styles. Joe will give you instruction on adapting mandolin techniques, scales, arpeggios, and chords to the octave mandolin, and will teach tunes as played by great octave mandolin players like Sarah Jarosz, Chris Thile, Sierra Hull, Tim O’Brien, and more. He’ll also cover accompaniment styles that suit the octave mandolin, so you can play along with others and accompany yourself. For intermediate mandolin, fiddle, or guitar players with a basic knowledge of their instrument.

We’ll be launching Octave Mandolin with Joe K. Walsh this spring, so sign up below to get email notices when the Course is live and accepting students!
