Eric
will get you started right on the mandolin path. We'll learn easy,
fun tunes that will build your technical skills, giving your left hand
an understanding of the fingerboard, and your right hand the tools for
good tone, time, and tremolo.
Flatpicker Eric Thompson has been a
fixture of the Bay Area acoustic music scene for half a century. While
most noted for his guitar work, he's brought his strong, soulful
mandolin picking to a wide stylistic array of
bands, including Blue Flame Stringband, Bluegrass Intentions, and Todalo
Shakers. Much to his delight, these last two years he's been on the
faculty of David Grisman and Mike Marshall's Mandolin Symposium in Santa
Cruz.
