Beyond The Chop Chord
(On-Demand)
A Mandolin Course 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.
