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."

June 1, 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?)

Seriously, if you've never really focused on the importance of a good right hand, you're missing important opportunity to kick out the most gorgeous tone you ever thought you could muster. 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

A practice routine without picking exercises is like a day without sunshine.

A kiss without a mustache...
