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."

July 17, 2009 | Summer NAMM 2009

We arrived in Nashville for the Summer NAMM show a day early to regroup and take in the cowboy hats and a little BBQ. Stopped in at Layla's on Broadway to hear Jypsi play, but mandolinist Scarlett wasn't there. (bummer...) Of course we had to make the obligatory trip to Gruhn's Guitars to see the fabulous mando eye candy; we fell in love with a 1980's Gibson F5L with curly maple back and a luscious blond finish. Almost enough to make us fond of F5s...

This morning, we hit the show floor (sorry, Trade Only) and hope to bring you some pictures of the latest eye candy, including the new Eastman Grisman mandola, and an incredible instrument from JBovier that we are sworn to secrecy. More news to follow.

Until then, check out this lovely critter we auditioned at Gruhns just down the corner from the convention:
