MB98354 - Mel Bay Deluxe Encyclopedia of Mandolin
Chords Book
-
$11.95
This encyclopedia is
designed to provide mandolin players with a wide variety of
chords in different voicings.
This book is
intended as both a starting point of learning chord voicings
and patterns, as well as a dictionary of common mandolin
chords.
Each key section
includes the first position scale for that key, as well as the
chord formula and notes for each chord.
If you want to
learn to be a bluegrass rhythm player it helps to have a guide
or 'map' to take you through the initial learning stage.
This book provides
a small but powerful set of starter chords used in this style
of music.
Once these chords
are learned, you'll be able to jam with other musicians in no
time.
These are the same
chords used by greats like Bill Monroe, Doyle Lawson, David
Grisman and hundreds of other bluegrass players in this
genre.
While there are
only a few chords presented in the "map" section, they form
the foundation of bluegrass mandolin and with them you can
play literally thousands of songs in every key.
Chords are
presented by key.
