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 1, 2012 | Amazing video; step by step instructions

We've all been amazed by the fretboard and picking prowess of Evan Marshall and Hamilton de Holanda, and others who have perfected the Duo Style of playing mandolin. You close your eyes and you think you're hearing two musicians playing at once.

What we want to show you is one of the coolest fretboard parlor tricks ever, the secret to the illusive Trio-style, single note picking that can make you sound like three people playing, especially helpful to the jazz musician wanting to communicate complex jazz harmonic chord extensions.

The secret is revealed in this clear step by step instructional YouTube video. We should encourage to do some careful wrist relaxation and finger stretching exercises, maybe a half hour of FFcP before attempting this.

It's the first day of April. Take a break and learn something truly profound.
