  2. Re: Improv workshop -- from Aaron Weinstein

    Next session is tonight at 8pm Est. Yay! The topic: Riffs as a soloing device. Fun stuff! If you can't make it live, videos of the sessions will be available. Hope to see some of you there :)

    Thanks so much!! The videos from yesterday's session should be up in a few days and you can refer back to them anytime you'd like. Next session on March 19! Looking forward!

    Re: THAT Freddie Green tone

    I second everything Don said! It really is about touch. Though if we're really talking about FREDDIE SOUND specifically (as opposed to the other equally great rhythm guitarists), I suppose an...
  13. Re: Chord melody chat: Aaron Weinstein & David Benedict

    The book walks you through various elements that go into a chord melody arrangement, offering ideas about left hand (voicings) and right hand (articulation of those voicings).

  14. Re: Chord melody chat: Aaron Weinstein & David Benedict

    Let's slide this party away from theoretical debate and head back to the mandolin. Happy playing, everyone!
  15. Re: Chord melody chat: Aaron Weinstein & David Benedict

    Hi Perry,

    Of course there's no one way to go about learning chord melody. That's part of what's so exciting about it. I appreciate that the steps you listed have been a gateway into the style...
