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."

August 30, 2014 | Chord sentences; 'ii V7 I' cheat sheet

Hint: Every set of closed chords on a mandolin is movable. If you can get away from the open strings and your transposing skills are good, you can establish a chord vocabulary up, down, and across the fretboard. One set of patterns becomes an immediate cheathsheet.

We revamped our original 'ii V7 I' chord sheet a year and a half ago. If you haven't already downloaded it, here it is again.

3-note chords. Harmonically complete, sonically sound.

Important Chords!!
