Great stuff. I've been working on your Blackberry Blossom and Brilliancy lessons for a while and I'm seeing positive results in all of my playing by using more of the neck and trying to improvise over other tunes. I've been grateful for your more detailed solos and up the neck work because it's been helping me build a competency for the language and how to construct my own variations. I'm not quite advanced enough to make my own solo up, but I've gotten more confident with on the fly variations of the melody. I can't wait to give these solos a spin.
Just to add, I also think it's great that you're providing more advanced lessons with detail like this. You're giving great theory and technique advice built into a practical application of the song and it makes it painless.
Oh my. How beautiful. I would love to be able to solo like this. Still very new to the mandolin and trying to break bad habits because of many years playing guitar. It’s a whole new thing. I certainly enjoyed hearing your compositions and details. You have extraordinary talent. Thank you for sharing.
Just bought my first mando, and watched a few of your videos so far. Love the content! I intend for this to be my go-to resource for the next while. You’re awesome man! Cheers!
I totally remember this Noam interview! It also stuck with me. I think he also said that improvisation is just really fast composition you can't compose variations really slowly, then you shouldn't expect to be able to do it on the fly. I think it was at Grey Fox if I'm not mistaken. Great stuff as always!
Thanks so much for this awesome lesson, David. I've been looking for more advanced, in-depth content like this. Absolutely perfect for my current level! Just learned solo #1 and getting ready to move on to the 2nd...
You're a savage on mandolin! My favorite fiddle tune ever. So good buddy!!!
Ah thanks so much!
