"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective
melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and
preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and
transparent harmonic definition."





Making mandolin mainstream.






No longer confined to basic folk genres, any mandolinist aspiring to a broader
comprehension of music, including swing, blues, pop, choro, broadway, and even
classical can expand his/her playing and through a working knowledge of jazz
fundamentals. This breakthrough approach in mandolin pedagogy takes four
uncomplicated fretboard patterns (FFcP) and drills a physical familiarity into
the player's fingers, softening the fear of upper frets and prepares for the
harmonic alterations necessary for effective and intuitive playing of more
complex contemporary music.
