Mandolin Lesson: Speed Exercises
Mandolin Master Mike Marshall (aka MMMM) calls them finger busters in his online mandolin lessons (learn more at www.mikemarshallmandolin.com). They're valuable mandolin exercises that build up speed and strength so that when you are playing, you’ve done the work to keep your playing in the pocket and your head in the song, rather than struggling to keep up.

The cool thing about these mandolin lessons is that you can submit videos of your playing and Mike Marshall himself will go over your video and respond with his own videos giving you feedback on YOUR playing. Not just one time either, you can submit as many videos as you want for as long as you're a member of the school.
