This class will uncover the building blocks of Bill Monroe's groundbreaking mandolin style. Explore Monroe's right hand techniques and how he used a pick along with various rhythm patterns to emulate the fiddle bowings of old-time musicians. We will also review Bill's left hand fingerings in both open and closed positions. Learn how he created his melody and bluesy improvised solos. Topics will include: Monroe's approach to old-time fiddle tunes, closed position scales, arpeggios and blues runs. Use pick downstrokes, triplets, tremolos and syncopation to create that Monroe drive and volume. Double stops, triple stops and more.
