"Wayne has created a very clear picture here for mandolin playing in a variety of styles. Thank you for a well thought out book that answers many questions we all ponder daily. Now let's all get busy!!" ... Mike Marshall
The
Conclusion of this power-packed three book mandolin method begins with a set
of warm-up and right-hand exercises. From there it continues with a study of
advanced harmonies and provides mandolin chord forms in all twelve keys.
In-depth studies of important forms such as the 12-bar blues and "Rhythm
Changes" are included. Other advanced harmony topics are included, such as
chord/melody playing and chord substitution. The book also takes an exhaustive
approach to melodic studies, covering the modes of the major scale, the
pentatonic scales, the chromatic scale, the whole-tone scale and
improvisation with many transposable scale forms and example tunes given. This is the perfect launching pad into a lifetime of great
mandolin playing.
