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."

December 4, 2007 | Dec 07 MandolinSessions

The new December MandolinSession.com issue is out, and this time we follow up our "Alternate Fingerings" topic with Part 2. Being able to solo on scales is helpful, arpeggios, too. The best course is a mixture of both, and we introduce how to use the Pentatonic scales through our FFcP approach.

It may be a little heavy on theory, but if you can deal with the concept of tonal centers, and aren't afraid of "horn keys," this will be right up your alley!
