 April 8, 2009 | April Mandolin Sessions: Lydian Part 2
In the latest Jazz Mandology article at MandolinSessions.com, we wrap up our final entry on Lydian improvisation. This time we focus in on the use of a very familiar Folk/Bluegrass tool, the Pentatonic Scale, incorporating FFcP fingering. We show how using the Pentatonics based on upper notes of the chord, you can create some intuitive and "intentional" improvisation. The Beboppers did this 50 years ago; why can't we?
MandolinSessions is a bi-monthly online resources, free and brought to you by the dedicated folks at Mel Bay Publishing. Read Jazz Mandology, and some of the other fine contributing columnists.
