Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

April 30, 2007 | Paul McCartney

We knew it to be true, but according to this UK "Mirror" report, so does Sir Paul. The former Beatle has recently discovered the magic of the mandolin, using the instrument to discover new chordal frontiers, and of course, soothe the soul. Most importantly, the dashing and distinguished 64 year-old, recently recovering from a bitter divorce is about to understand the instrument's profound but secret feature: chick magnet.

Think about it, "Norwegian Wood" with some cross-picking. Evan Marshall, and avid Beatle fan himself already has some tasty arrangements of several of the Fab Four's tunes on his 1990 recording Mandolin Magic.

Works for us.

Paul McCartney and the mandolin...
