Book/CD set. A concept that germinated in Weissman's mind while in music school. Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there are even jazz musicians who don't know how to improvise outside the limits of their own stylistic backgrounds. The non-jazz improvisation series mostly includes new original tunes that are intended to show how to improvise in many musical styles, including: blues, country, folk, Latin-American, World Music, new age, classical, more. Advanced. 127 pp.

DUO-STYLE A TO Z: A COMPREHENSIVE METHOD FOR SOLO MANDOLIN IN DUO-STYLE, FROM ENTRY LEVEL TO ARTIST LEVEL
by Evan J. Marshall

Book/CD set. Duo-style is one person playing two musical lines of two distinctly different characters on one mandolin. Playing tremolo double-stops is not true duo-style, since the two lines share the same character of sound. Duo-style simultaneously combines a line played with tremolo and a line played with one pick-stroke per note. Marshall teaches in a gradual, logical style. Each lesson starts with a pair of study examples introducing a new technical concept, and concludes with a variation on Beethovan's "Ode To Joy." that applies the technique. Note/tab.

DUO-STYLE A TO Z: A COMPREHENSIVE METHOD FOR SOLO MANDOLIN IN DUO-STYLE, FROM ENTRY LEVEL TO ARTIST LEVEL
by Evan J. Marshall
Photo
Book/CD set. Duo-style is one person playing two musical lines of two distinctly different characters on one mandolin. Playing tremolo double-stops is not true duo-style, since the two lines share the same character of sound. Duo-style simultaneously combines a line played with tremolo and a line played with one pick-stroke per note. Marshall teaches in a gradual, logical style. Each lesson starts with a pair of study examples introducing a new technical concept, and concludes with a variation on Beethovan's "Ode To Joy." that applies the technique. Note/tab. Spiralbound, 40 pp.
