Beyond The Chop Chord
Mandolin Workshop with Don Julin
Learn Easy-To-Play (Three Note) Major, Minor, Seventh, Diminished, and Augmented Chord Forms.
Bluegrass-style chop chords may be the right tool for playing traditional three-chord bluegrass songs but can leave quite a bit to be desired when it comes to swing, jazz, choro, rags, or even Beatles songs.
By learning this three-note mandolin chording system, you will be able to play any chord in any key without digging out your mandolin chord book. The bonus is that these three-note chords are all easy to play chord shapes with no big stretches.

Beyond The Chop Chord is an intermediate/advanced level mandolin workshop.
You should already know basic open chords and be familiar with closed or moveable chords.
In addition, some music theory is also necessary as we identify the chord inversions by which chord tone is the highest.
If playing chords in various keys on the mandolin sounds fun, this class is for you.
If playing swing favorites, Beatles songs, etc., on the mandolin sounds fun, this class is for you.
If you do not know the chords G, C, D, E, A, F, Am, Em, Dm, and Gm, this class could be over your head, and you may be unable to keep up.
All levels are welcome to attend, but the course will move at an intermediate/advanced pace.
