Thanks Aaron, great job! I’m working my way through your book and I can highly recommend it to anyone interested in this chord melody style. I would also mention any resources on the concept of 3 note chords analysed as tonic on the top/middle or in the bass, re Jethro Burns as a way to analyse major, minor, dominant and diminished chords and extensions is very useful. Well , all the best...
Please please Please more lessons !! Also can you do a gospel song in chord melody ?!!? Something bluesy, old timey. Just a closer walk with thee !!! Rising Appalachia did an amazing rendition of this song would die happy for your interpretation
Hi Hannah, so glad you enjoyed the mini lesson. If you'd like more, check out my course at PegHead Nation or you can contact me if you'd like private instruction. Thanks!
Sorry I made so much noise coming in. I hope you didn't see me.. Glad I did and hoping there is more to come. Did you order the red diamond or find it along your musical path along with that bow tie. Both are fine examples pleasing to the ear and the eye.
It functions as a type of Am11. And you may ask, "how does it 'speak' as an Am when there's not even a 3rd present in the voicing?" In abstraction, it might not. But when you look at the voicings that surround it--an E7 prior to and a D7 following, there's enough harmonic information in this Am11 voicing for the ear to register it voicing as an Am. You could also voice it (from bottom to top) C,E,D (frets 5,2,5) if you want a more complete Am chord. I chose the one I did because I wanted an A as the bass note. Hope that helps clear things up a bit.
Thanks Aaron! This is the first new mandolin ideas I pick up in 2019. I want to do more of this chord melody playing!
You are who I've been needing to find for the last year!
I took a private lesson with Aaron and can say he is just as warm and insightful in person as on RUclips. A master instrumentalist and teacher!
Thanks Alex!
Going about my day is to nail this !!
Thanks Aaron.
Lightbulb moment for me! Great stuff, please keep it coming.

How's the book work coming?
I'm puzzles by the A minor chord consisting of A,E and D . Would you help out please . Thank you in anticipation .

What's the difference between a mandolin and a fiddle?
Some questions just don't have answers. This is not one of those questions.
Playing in tune?
A mandolin has strings, a fiddles got strangs
Fiddle is easier, mandolin is nicer... :)
