Summary of This Method
Designed to make you independent, this method guides you through learning the authentic bluegrass mandolin by combining explanations, examples, and repertoire. You will find detailed instructions on the fundamentals of playing: position, attack, articulation, coordination of both hands, as well as a structured approach to building effective phrases and sounding "bluegrass" from the very first pages. The goal is to develop clean and solid playing, both in melody and rhythm.
Beyond pure technique, the book covers essential elements for playing in a group: how to support the tune with accompaniment, how to transition into a solo, how to manage energy and dynamics, and how to approach interpretation with advice drawn from stage experience. The online audio perfectly complements the book with audio versions of the examples and backing tracks for several tunes, to work on sense of tempo, listening, and timing.
The proposed repertoire gathers essential standards, perfect for enriching your musical culture and preparing you for sessions: "Cripple Creek," "Old Joe Clark," "Salt Creek," "Soldier's Joy," "Blackberry Blossom," "Turkey in the Straw," "Nine Pound Hammer," and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." An excellent choice to progress while staying motivated, with tunes frequently found in bluegrass jams.
Written by Andy Statman, a renowned mandolinist (and clarinetist), this method favors a musical and practical approach, focused on real playing and the joy of making the instrument sound.
