Swing chords and progressions for mandolin by Don Stiernberg

[CHASAX]

What do I need to know about scales, etc. before starting the course?

[Bill McCall]

It's in tab and notation, and it's about chords, so not much. But you should know what the scale tones are and where. That would make it easier. But it's so well explained and documented you could just follow the pictures.

Hey all you cats,

Just spent a very pleasant day in the video studio yesterday with Corey Richardson of Soundslice.com. We cut a new online video course to be entitled "Rhythm and Repertoire for the Mandolin". It kind of picks up where "Swing Chords and Progressions"left off,moving toward a focus on tunes, each one taken three times through, adding interest each time. Nothing but chords for cool tunes, or as we say Rhythm and Repertoire.Corey does all the heavy lifting--played guitar backup, engineered the video and audio, and now will transcribe and edit. I hope you'll watch for it! Should be along mid-summer in the heart of pickin' season. Thanks and happy comping. Chordially yours, old donnie
