"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."
From the jazz mandolin enthusiast's perspectve, this guy has gone YouTube viral (proportionally speaking).

Still, Aaron's a cool cat, and when you see the first part of the video, you'll agree.
