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."

April 28, 2009 | JL Smith 5-string Review

We couldn't resist, and now we're glad we didn't. The recent acquisition of a Sea Foam Green (Aqua) JL Smith 5-string electric mandolin is something to rave about--and now in print. Not many 5-strings have produced a successful C to E string balance, foregoing the traditional low C flop. John Smith has it figured out and in a ground-hum free Tele panache and as easy on the hands as it is on the eye.
