GETTING INTO JAZZ MANDOLIN by Ted Eschliman Photo

Book/CD set. Any mandolinist aspiring to a broader comprehension of music, including swing, blues, pop, choro, broadway, and even classical can expand his/her playing through a working knowledge of jazz fundamentals. This breakthrough approach in mandolin pedagogy takes four uncomplicated fretboard patterns (FFcP) and drills a physical familiarity into the player's fingers, softening the fear of upper frets and prepares for the harmonic alterations necessary for effective and intuitive playing of complex contemporary music. After a brief introduction into modes, you are eased into jamming with audio accompaniment (CD), and eventually an initiation into the most fundamental jazz chord progression of all, the 'ii V7 I' pattern. From the horizontal (melody) to the vertical (chords) and back, the results are a both instinctive and physical grasp of tonal centers and the improvisational fodder of effective performing. With an emphasis on pinky strength, finger control and sustain, the book's exercises also develop the player's concepts of tone and melody. Further supportive resources, including MP3 audio tracks, are available on the internet. Beginners. 112 pp.

FIDDLEWIDGET - MANDOLIN MAP & CHORD FINDER by Bruce Haney Photo

This handy, compact "slide rule" for the mandolin shows you every major chord and scale up the neck, up to 22 frets. Color coded dots outline each note of the triad; clear dots show you the notes of the scale. Helps you figure out where to put your capo, transpose from one key to another, and (by using the simple theory rules printed on the back) how to modify the major chord to make minor, augmented, diminished and seventh chords. Good for players who want to learn the neck better and for teachers looking for a clear visual aid for their students. Only 5" x 11" and less than 1/8" thick.
