Essential Techniques For Mandolin - DVD Video

Here's a DVD video lesson that will thrill and inspire mandolinists at all levels. Chris Thile, a mandolin virtuoso who has performed with every major artist in contemporary bluegrass, shares his own successful formula for developing right and left hand dexterity, improving speed and accuracy, and playing with heightened musicality. He launches into detailed instructions on holding the pick, correct hand position and wrist action, getting a good balance between up and down strokes, and more. He provides numerous exercises for releasing hand tension that will make all the difference as you learn to play.
 
Warming up by playing scales, arpeggios and triads will enhance your speed, clarity, and knowledge of the fingerboard, and Chris runs through routines to incorporate these into your practice sessions. In learning his beautiful "Ode to Butterfly", you'll use pull-offs, hammer-ons, position shifting, ornamentation and other important techniques that add style and character to your playing. As a bonus, you'll hear astonishing performances of some of Chris' original music. This video will provide the techniques needed to move to the next level and to reach exciting new goals in your mandolin playing!
