Mike’s series “A Different Slant” is great, I highly recommend it for anyone looking to study and improve!

I really tried for several months to get Red Garlands right hand chord voicings into my mandolin playing. He seemed to play almost a shell voicing in his left hand while the right hand was playing the melody with two notes in octave and either the fifth or flat fifth between. I use this on mando once in a great while, but usually for just a short burst as it needs the left hand underneath to make it sound good and of course I don’t have enough notes! Mike, I am very interested to see how you incorporate this onto the steel!

Ask me now is my fav Monk tune!
