Fairfax, Calif. — Peghead Nation has announced the addition of Mike Compton to their instructional staff with a brand new video course entitled Monroe-Style Mandolin.
Compton joins a talented and rapidly growing instructional team that includes courses in Beginning Mandolin with Sharon Gilchrist, and The Advancing Mandolinist with Joe Walsh.
In Monroe-Style Mandolin, students will learn traditional bluegrass-style mandolin as exemplified by the father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe, with original solos and tips on reproducing Monroe's iconic sound, rhythm, and feel.
Mike carefully breaks down classic Monroe tunes and includes his exact transcriptions in notation and tablature for each song he teaches. Throughout the course, Mike uses the tunes to teach Monroe's approach to double-stops, tremolo, slides, and more. Plus, you'll hear Mike talk about Monroe's deep influence, both on him personally and on legions of mandolinists and bluegrass fans.
In short, Monroe-Style Mandolin gives students the most authentic instruction available in the traditional bluegrass style.
