The fingering the tab example looks awkward to me but I assume you are just asking us whether the notation itself is clear. I would say the 2nd measure makes more sense. The first does not make sense...

That's correct. I don't think you need the dashes.

Hey y'all,
I am working on a project for Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin in which I work up fingerings for each piece along with explanations on why I chose these fingerings....

In the context of this thread, there may be some interest in the original Nakano index files as a subset of published music for mandolin. I've converted the original HTML index files into a single...
Here's a question for some long-timers. This probably goes back close to 20 years when Norman Levine was still with us. He authored a book or collection of some type--which I never saw nor heard much...
Yes.
Many of the forms are Da Capo aria type ternary form or "march" form, for example. With contrasting key changes for each section, and counterpoint on the 2nd parts.
That's what we...
I think Ted Eschliman recommends two hours of listening to one of practice. It certainly helped me.
The Spanish independent music association awarded us with the best "world music/folk/fusion" album of the year!!!

CGDAE. I stick with mandolin scale so I can reach close-voiced chords not possible on longer scales. This project was begun as jazz viola, so not much chording in it, but in my other jazz playing I...
I read the Tristan Scroggins interview and his discussion of banjo-style cross picking. I remember a couple years ago at a bluegrass camp workshop I played the opening arpeggios of Bach G Prelude on...
These finger exercises are great. Thank you for your hard work!
Mark, just label it "Satan's interval" with no other info and leave it at that.
Basically a five string guitar with 1 3/8 inch nut.

Need these statements be mutually exclusive? You could absolutely play the same type of fiddle tunes on an octave, albeit with altered fingerings, and explorations of different instruments require no...
The other silver bullet is practice; nothing beats it. And, play/learn stuff you like.
Nope :))
Right now, my brain only has room for the major tetrachord thinking, and struggles with simple tonal music and understanding music theory starting with the major scale and building...
Great! Would love to hear everybody take solos! The John Cage piano solo was perfect! Thanks for posting this.
The answer is 42. :)
The pinky seems stronger the closer it is to the ring finger. By deploying the ring finger, the pinky is not that far away.
I have taken to thinking of the pinky not as an independent finger,...
I am curious as to what this turns out to be, too. I call it all doublestops, even when they are triple stops and no matter what the ratio of doublestops per melody notes is (I never reach 100%...
That 2 note pair will function as a double stop that substitutes for the larger chord[/B]. Take a 4 finger G "chop" chord, 3-2-5-7 (from the E course coming down). 3-2-x-x, x-2-5-x, and x-x-5-7 are...
...and if we're talking non-mandolin jazz, don't forget Django on his birthday!
Don’t forget another Jazz instrument, the human voice. The Jazz vocalists are important members of the Jazz family.
Start, of course, with Louis Armstrong. He set the standard for which all others...
