JazzMando What's New - In the latest Jazz Mandology article at MandolinSessions.com, we wrap up our final entry on Lydian improvisation. This time we focus in on the use of a very familiar Folk/Bluegrass tool, the Pentatonic Scale, incorporating FFcP (http://jazzmando.com/ffcp_studies.shtml) fingering. We show how using the Pentatonics based on upper notes of the chord, you can create some intuitive and "intentional" improvisation. The Beboppers did this 50 years ago; why can't we?
