Book Reviews of Mel Bay Deluxe Encyclopedia Of Mandolin Chords
Book Review: An indespensible reference tool
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent resource for the novice player (like myself) for both mandolin and violin chords, scales, and more. I highly recommend this book, especially for those who, like myself, play sliding scales on the guitar but need a quick reference to sliding scales on mandolin for blues, bluegrass and jazz. You can also apply the information directly to the violin, if you're like me who's trying to learn both instruments. Also, check out Mel Bay's Mandolin Scales and Studies for scale tablatures.
Summary of Mel Bay Deluxe Encyclopedia Of Mandolin Chords
This encyclopedia is designed to provide mandolin players with a wide variety of chords in different voicings. This book is intended as both a starting point of learning chord voicings and patterns, as well as a dictionary of common mandolin chords. Each key section includes the first position scale for that key, as well as the chord formula and notes for each chord. If you want to learn to be a bluegrass rhythm player it helps to have a guide or 'map' to take you through the initial learning stage. This book provides a small but powerful set of starter chords used in this style of music. Once these chords are learned, you'll be able to jam with other musicians in no time. These are the same chords used by greats like Bill Monroe, Doyle Lawson, David Grisman and hundreds of other bluegrass players in this genre. While there are only a few chords presented in the "map" section, they form the foundation of bluegrass mandolin and with them you can play literally thousands of songs in every key. Chords are presented by key.Instruments & Performers Books
