Hello All You Mando Players,
I just got inspired to pick up my mandolin recently after a long time of it gathering dust. I want to jam with my roommate (guitar) but don't really know how. I can solo over his rhythm but that gets old after a bit. I just looked up Aminor Pentatonic scale and he played in the key of C...it didn't sound great but that's what we used to do when we would jam with 2 guitars. I know some chords but me just playing the same chords at the same time as him doesn't sound very good.
Does anybody have any advice for what I can do? Like maybe little runs between chords or double stops or something? I don't really know how to do either of those things and I don't know if they would even sound good. Our end goal is to play some dispatch songs as a guitar mandolin combo but I don't really know how to achieve this. I feel like learning to jam might help me get there and help me get a better idea of how to make the music combine well.
Any advice for him would be appreciated too. We're used to just jamming on 2 guitars and I don't know how he's supposed to be playing if it's different at all
Thanks guys and gals!
