Peghead Nation fiddle instructor Chad Manning plays with the David Grisman Sextet, the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands, and teaches regularly at his San Francisco Bay Area studio. We’re happy to announce Chad has added Theory for Mandolin and Fiddle to the courses he teaches on Peghead Nation.

In this new course, you’ll learn the basics of music theory as it relates to four-string instruments tuned in fifths. Chad’s practical approach will deepen your knowledge of chords, scales, and arpeggios, and help you integrate them into your playing. Watch Chad’s video introduction to the course, above.

You can sign up for Chad’s new course right now by going to the Theory for Mandolin and Fiddle landing page and clicking on the red “Enroll Today” button. Use promo code “ChadLand” at checkout and get your first month free!
