In the fourth Mandolin Essentials lesson, we’ll cover how to link double stops with scales & arpeggios in one streamlined position. It’s an important skill for improvisation, melody/break construction, fill licks, etc. If you’re wanting to improve your improv, having a sound knowledge of these closed position patterns will grow your mandolin muscles ready for the next time a break comes along…in any key! Areas of study include:
- 3 double stops;
- Major Blues Scale/Major Pentatonic Scale;
- Major Arpeggio (one octave);
- 4 scale/double stop linking exercises;
- And we’ll finish with an analysis of an example break for Mountain Dew which applies the patterns learnt in the lesson.
