Hi,
I want to know what David McLaughlin is doing when playing the mandolin in this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xequbytrS3s
This is his style and he does it in every song he plays. It is many of the notes in between the melody notes. I am guessing it is arpeggios or something, but I don't know and I want to. If it is that, how do I learn how to do it, and how do I learn how to incorporate it into the melody? If it's not that, what is it and how do I learn it and how do I incorporate it into the melody?
I can learn to play the notes that he is playing, but I want to learn what he is doing so I can put it into other songs. I can learn the basic melody and then want to take whatever it is he is doing and embellish the melody with it. I like his style compared to other mandolin players and want to learn how to do it.
Another thing that I am interested in is how to come up with different versions of the same tune while remaining true to the melody.
Thanks!
Lance
