The
best way to learn an
instrument is to play it
as often as you can with
other musicians. Trading
songs and interacting
with other
instrumentalists and
singers will foster
learning at a faster pace
and promote development
of an ensemble sound.
This play-along series
encourages this kind of
fun, collaborative
approach to learning an
instrument. Aspiring
mandolinists can practice
chords and rhythm,
singing and lyrics,
melodies, solos, licks
and backup playing along
with a real band. The
online audio includes Dix
Bruce on the guitar,
mandolin and vocals, Bill
Evans on the banjo and
vocals, Julie Cline on
vocals and Cindy Browne
on the string bass. The
recorded songs are
performed with
introductions kickoffs ,
vocals and solos-just how
they would be at jam
sessions and
performances. Solo
sections in the
recordings allow you to
play chords and solos
from the book. Create
your own improvised solos
or sing the lyrics while
the band provides
accompaniment. The book
includes fifteen of the
most popular bluegrass,
old-time and gospel
songs, recorded at slow
and regular tempos for
players of any skill
level. Includes mandolin
tablature, chords, solos,
backup parts and more.
Great for beginning to
intermediate players.
Well jam ALL night
long.
