I am very proud to have playeda small part with some of them. When he was only 12 he made his first recordings and asked me to play Mandolin on them. I was knocked out to encounter someone that young that was conversant in both old-time or contest fiddling andJoe Venuti style jazz. Not long after that Aaron became interested in the Mandolin and chords and he came by every so often to play and discuss voicings improvisation and the like. I showed him some of the Jethro Burns chordmelody arrangements that Jethro showed me. I've been teaching those for decades in hopes of one day playing them smoothly myself!Fast forward a few more years and Aaron has a Berklee degree traveled the worldplaying hot Violin music and is hobnobbing with the greatest NYC jazz stars. And oh yeah one other thing: he took the art of chord-melody Mandolin style to an entirely new level! The rich harmonies of the standard jazz and showtune repertoire the swinging bass lines and connecting chords and independent voice movements (doing more than one thing at a time) are all present in Aaron's style thanks to his great ear open mind and gift at locating thingson the fretboard. And now Aaron has documented explained and shared his discoveries and approach with all of us in this book. Thank you Aaron!This is truly a step-by-step method that you will enjoy. You'll findyourself saying 'oh of course!' as the author gets you playing and understanding things that sound very detailed and complex. The first section I would call the mandolinistic stuff: the how-to on getting things moving and
