Explore the rich history of Mando Blues with Christopher James!
Explore the rich history and exciting sounds of Blues on the mandolin. We will learn a classic Blues song each day. Songs will be taught in layers so that you can learn blues scales, moveable 7th chords, turnarounds, and new rhythms in context and then understand how to use these elements in new Blues songs you learn and create down the road. We'll also learn techniques for improvising solos and accompanying other musicians.
Students should bring mandolin, tuner, paper and pencil, and recording device.
All levels.
Schedule a week or two, or three! Or, just sprinkle some classes in between other commitments.
