 November 19, 2009 | About our relationship
Reader feedback from our "Getting Into Jazz Mandolin" book is great to share; we feel these stories may equip you in hearing how others are walking the path of mandolin fretboard awakening. The latest, from California:
"Just got my hands on the book this past week and I got to read the intro to the FFcP position, and practiced my first Ionian Mode 3rd Finger scales! I wanted to give you my first impressions as you seemed interested in getting that feedback. Right now my improvising skills revolve around closed position pentatonic scales and flattening some of the notes along the way, in combination with familiar notes I know from the fiddle tunes I memorized... I'm excited to expand my improv toolbox!
 I already like hearing the different relationships between notes and what those relationships are while I'm practicing (3rds, 4ths) and having the autopilot breaks of the straight scale itself up and down. Its a nice way of keeping the brain engaged during scale practice (I never practiced scales much for this reason)." J.H.
We trust this is a familiar story. The book was written for the player who is probably already doing some experimenting, but we wanted to codify a methodical approach, and make systematic learning more efficient and effective.
If you already have the book, gift a copy to a friend. Spread the love: List $19.95 on sale for $15.00!
