Just for Fun: Christmas Mandolin contains over 40 classic Christmas songs. Most of the songs in the book feature three arrangements: the melody in notation and TAB, an easy rhythm option with a simple strum pattern and chords, and an intermediate-level rhythm option written in full notation and TAB. The intermediate rhythm option often combines full melody and chords, making it perfect not only for accompanying a singer and but also for solo performances for friends, family, and recitals. There's even a mandolin chord dictionary in the back of the book. Plus, this book correlates to the matching guitar, ukulele, and banjo editions, so you can have family Christmas jams and sing-alongs.TITLE COMPOSERDance of the Sugar Plum Fairy [Op. 71a, #3] Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (composer)The Twelve Days of Christmas Traditional (source)We Three Kings of Orient Are Christmas Traditional (source)God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen Traditional (source)Away in a Manger John R.

Most of the music in this book comes from editions or manuscripts from England in the late 1500’s. There are also a few French pieces. The cittern was popular in Italy England and France. Aside from various tunings there weretwo main kinds of instruments being played during the 16th and 17th centuries: the 4 course (four sets of doubled strings) and the 6 course cittern with several editions of music to go along with both. The pieces I have chosenfor this book were all written for the 4 course instrument and fall into three main categories: dance music song arrangements and free pieces. The free pieces are basically preludes that explore the melodic range of theinstrument. As the title suggests these pieces can be played very freely and need not have a very strict tempo. The dance pieces are not really meant to be danced to but rather take their form and rhythm from the popular courtdances of the time. These can be played with a wide range of overall tempo but once a tempo is chosen should be strictly adhered to. The song arrangements are settings of popular songs of the time as well as more formal vocalsettings. Care should be taken in making the melody clear and singing. Since the range of the cittern and mandolin are the same John Holenko has kept the melodies intact. Because of the difference in tuning however thevoicing of the harmonies have been changed so as to fit on the mandolin.
26 Favorite Songs-The Ultimate Mandolin Songbook contains multiple versions varying in difficulty of 26 of the most popular songs from bluegrass jazz ragtime rock pop gospel swing and other genres in both standard notation and mandolin tab.The songs are arranged by Janet Davis to appeal to players of all levels and the included online audio tracks feature her performing demos for listening and playing along. Arrangements in the book feature alternate licks endings segues and turnarounds for improvising.Picking styles include: tremolo Monroe style fiddle style double stops crosspicking triplet style jazz style and more. The songs are in various tuningsand keys and the lyrics and history are included for each.

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.

Mandolinists who wish to expand their improvisational vocabulary and spice up their rhythm accompaniment are invited to try some Jazz Mandolin Appetizers.This book and accompanying audio prepared by chef Don Stiernberg include a batch of etudes that address the challenges every improvising mandolinist faces. These include common issues such as selecting notes that sound good with chord progressions and finding them on the fretboard. In the firstsection new melodies are presented for chord progressions that are often played at swing and jazz jam sessions. These tunes will benefit players of any style. Concepts are discussed at the beginning of each tune such as harmonicanalysis and the effects of certain intervals (useful groups of tones). The tablature suggests fingerings for the melodies. The chordal section shows how chords and progressions can be made more interesting by adding color tension and movement. Chord substitution is also demonstrated. Working through this section will prepare the player with commonly played progressions and will expand their chord voicing vocabulary up and down the neck. Lastly astudy of chord-melody style playing is presented. Playing the melody and harmony at the sametime yields full sounding solo arrangements.Don Stiernberg is a leading proponent of the jazz Mandolin style. He has eightavailable recordings performs coast to coast and abroad writes a column for Mandolin Magazine and teaches at several Mandolin events. Audio download available online.
