June 01, 2007 | Clean Sweep...

Thinking Good Tone Part 2. It's our latest entry at the MandolinSessions.com webzine at the Mel Bay website, and it's a follow up to the, you-guessed it, "Thinking Good Tone Part 1." (Clever, huh?)

Clean, accurate picking is literally where the it all starts, and it's worth taking a look at the exercise and incorporating it into your daily warm-ups.

Check it out: Thinking Good Tone Part 2

Accompanying exercise: Sweeping for Tone
