Mandolino Rock

Par HANS LANDAU. Lorsque j'ai commencé à pratiquer la mandoline plus sérieusement, je ne se sentaient pas convaincu en jouant des mélodies de la seule note. J'ai organisé beaucoup de pièces dont je savais depuis ma guitare jouant au fil des décennies, juste pour mon propre usage sur la mandoline. Mon but était de combiner les mélodies avec cordes de la façon qui font les joueurs de guitare. Dans mon livre, vous y trouverez le résultat de mon travail, allant de la Renaissance au Barock, de l'Irlande et l'Italie aux Alpes. Une section supplémentaire avec des morceaux plus difficile satisfera le joueur avancé. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / All Styles - Solos / Recueil / Mandoline

In my book you will find the result of my work spanning from Renaissance to Barock from Ireland and Italy to the Alps. An extra section with more difficultpieces will satisfy the advanced player.

The non-jazz improvisation series is a concept that germinated in Dick Weissman's mind while he was attending music school. He wrote a 15-piece arrangement of the old square dance tune Cripple Creek and wanted the trombone totake a solo as part of the arrangement. When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was totally unsuitable for the chart Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there are even jazzmusicians who don't know how to improvise outside the limits of their own stylistic backgrounds. The non-jazz improvisation series mostly includes new original tunes that are intended to show how to improvise in manymusical styles including; Blues Country American folk Latin-American World music including South American Eastern European and Asian Odd meters (playing in a variety of time signatures) New Age Classical Folk-Rock In short the books are an encyclopedia of virtually every musical style excluding jazz.
