New Stiernberg lesson?

[danoNC]

Hey all,

I remember a few months back, Don had posted on here that there was a new Soundslice lesson coming soon that focused on Jazz Mandolin Repertoire. At least that is what I think I remember (maybe it was just a dream). Does anyone have any info on this?

Thanks!

Dan

Don't see a new one on Soundslice.

Don has been busy with music camps this summer; I'm looking forward to seeing this course in the near future. So far, it has not been posted on Soundslice.

Hi guys thanks for being interested. I just checked with the Soundslice boys the other day and I'm told the new course will be available in September. It will be called Rhythm and Repertoire. In it we take several standard swing tune structures(Swing That Music, Some of These Days, Tiger Rag, Willow Weep For Me, I'm Old Fashioned,After You've Gone, Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter, Blues for Dixie, I've Found A New Baby,East of the Sun, Idaho,Green Dolphin St., et al)and play each one through 3 times. First time basic changes and straight ahead rhythm strokes. Second time adds color tones, connecting chords, moves around the fretboard a bit more. Third time approaches 'anything goes'--some subs, freer, more interactive or conversational rhythmic approach. Lots of ways to go about putting together a chordal rhythm part on a swing or jazz or any tune, notated in both standard and TAB with audio and video that you can control the playback tempo of. I hope you will check it out in just a few weeks.

Thanks Don! Hubba Hubba, I can't wait!

I have really enjoyed the other 2 soundslice lessons.

Thank you danoNC,
Rhythm and Repertoire will be the fourth course I have with Soundslice. The others are

Crafting Jazzier Solo Lines for Mandolin
Chord Melody Etudes for Mandolin

Oops! Sorry Don. I was only thinking of the swing chords and progressions and the crafting jazzier solo lines lessons. I have not delved into the chord melody lesson yet.

Chord melody is a big part of what Don's mentor, the great Jethro Burns and his style of playing was all about.

Great news. I look forward to it. The lessons you already have there are the best resources I have found anywhere, and the Soundslice format/viewing options are superb.
