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."

May 12, 2009 | Our "positions" statement...

If you came to the mandolin fretboard through circumstances other than violin or formal classical instruction, the notion of "positions" might be completely foreign to you. There are merits to the centuries old traditional approach to the X/Y axis of the fingerboard, looking at the notes from one end of the string to the other, rather than across the strings from one to the next. We went into a little more detail about this in last week's Tips and Tricks column.
