This book is dedicated to an instrument, the mandolin, usually associated with a completely different context. The authors take us on a rich and exciting journey that shows the surprising versatility of the mandolin, in the belief that the blues is not just a genre, but also and above all a language to be found everywhere in modern music.
After providing the historical, theoretical and technical elements necessary to identify this language, the authors let the mandolin speak for itself in 24 instrumental tunes covering different kinds of blues and various musical genres influenced by it. So Country Blues and the Chicago Style, but also Bluegrass, Rock, Jazz, Funk, showing the potential of the mandolin even in contexts where it is uncommon.
The book includes links to 24 videos (shot with three cameras) of the songs it contains, and the related backing tracks for practicing the various styles.
One of the most important stages of this unique journey is dedicated to what the authors call “Mediterranean blues”, identified in the musical traditions of Southern Italy and North Africa, areas where the mandolin had its origin and where elements are still alive that lead back to the deepest roots of the blues.
Between strokes of the plectrum and a taste of fingerpicking and bottleneck slide, the authors speak to mandolinists and also to newcomers, inviting them all to experience the unique personality of the mandolin in an articulated and stimulating musical world.
