When mandolin youtube channels collide! Honored to have a Mandolin Monday video from the amazingly talented jazz musician and mando youtube personality, Aaron Weinstein! Check out Aaron's swinging chord melody version of this old jazz standard "A Beautiful Friendship" played on his trusty Red Diamond F5 mandolin.
You probably know Aaron from his many other jaw-dropping jazz mandolin videos, but you may not know the full extent of his musical clout and prowess. For instance, did you know that he was awarded a full four-year talent-based scholarship at the prestigious Berklee School of Music? Or have you heard that Aaron has performed as a featured soloist at many of the most premier jazz music venues in the country, including: Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland, and Blue Note? It's all true!
If that weren't enough, he's also a talented author. Back in 2015, Aaron published an acclaimed mandolin instructional book called Mandolin Chord Melody System--a book that masterfully breaks down the complex jazz chord melody idiom in a user friendly way. You can get yourself a copy HERE
