In this class we will learn the basics of bluegrass mandolin, both rhythm and lead. We’ll begin with bluegrass chop chords and a discussion of right-hand technique. We will then quickly get into playing lead on the mandolin, as we learn to play both instrumental and vocal tunes common in the tradition. In this course we’ll learn how to read tablature (tab), how to play fiddle tunes, and take breaks on vocal tunes, and get an introduction to improvisation. The primary goal is to provide you with the skills needed to play solid bluegrass mandolin and participate in bluegrass jams.
