Jazz Is Not Dead: Volume I features six jazz standards that sound great on the mandolin.
Of course, we will cover the melody & chords, but the fun starts when we arrange/embellish/improvise with these tunes.
The tunes I have selected for this workshop are easy enough for intermediates to learn but offer enough complexity for the more advanced player.
A basic understanding of music theory will be helpful as we will explore scales, licks, arpeggios, and various soloing ideas.
