The ideas behind a good walk stay remarkably consistent
from one instrument to the next. What changes is the way each instrument expresses them. Here, the principles introduced in the opening session are applied to the mandolin specifically. We look closely at the notes, the timing, and the musical setting that help a walk sound natural and purposeful.
As always, the goal isn't simply to play the notes. It's to help the listener hear where the music is headed. Once these ideas begin to settle into your hands, they become easier to recognize in the music around you—and even easier to put to work.
