"You Can be a Mandocello Chord Genius"!

MANDOCELLO CHORDS CAN BE A PROBLEM. Nobody showed us how to easily and freely build beginner Mandocello chords or advanced Mandocello chords, just how to play them and for quite a while... that was enough. But are you satisfied? Mandocello Chords can be easily built without knowing the note names in the chord too and I'll show you how. Maybe it's time for some real understanding.

Have you ever:

  • Searched for a book for your instrument to take you from beginner to advanced chord playing and all it ended up being was memory work and not complete understanding?
  • Needed to change the Key of a song to get the chords into your vocal range?
  • Made up a chord for a song you're writing and then hopelessly searched for the name of the chord in a chord diagram book over an inch thick... and never did find it?
  • Wondered what made a minor chord a minor chord, or a diminished a diminished chord, or a major 7th chord a major 7th chord, a 13th chord a 13th chord?
  • Wondered what all the chords were in a particular key to make your song writing easier?
  • Looked for a book on chord structure that actually applied to your instrumentand explained it in a way you could understand?
  • Bought a book of music for a band you loved but the music had been 'hacked' and the chords in the book didn't sound right?

You know how it works.

You're going through a song when suddenly the song calls for a C6 chord, or maybe a Gm7b5, or maybe it's as simple as a D#m7 chord. Frustrating? Yes. Embarrasing? It shouldn't be. Most of us learned casually - simply learning new chords from friends. Memorization was the rule; not the exception.

How would you like to be able to build any chord you need on the spot, without having to look in a book or even worse... ask the guitar player (he probably doesn't know either).

"Mandocello Chord Genius" assumes no knowledge on your part. For intermediate or advanced players, the beginners section is a quick read that gets us on the same page as far as terminology is concerned but is so gradual you'll hardly notice it. The book is written in plain language. That's right! You can learn everything without having to be a music major. Discussion is kept straight forward and to the point and new ideas are explained clearly and thoroughly before proceeding. This is no dry theory book ... it's all hands on, practical application and you'll love it.
