Dear All, How do you people approach designing tasteful mandolin breaks for songs? Start with the melody, or play out of chord positions, or just opening the box o' tricks & licks? I'm trying to play in the Monroe/ Compton vein of mandolin playing, and I find it hard to come up with new stuff still within this style. How do I approach it?
For example, I'm now trying to come up with a break to the Townes Van Zandt song 'White Freightliner Blues', and it's not really coming along. (The problem is I'm supposed to play this song in front of a 'trusting audience' this friday, so I'm running out of time!) Anyway, the song is kind of fast (for me) and the chords are: C/C/G/G/(X2) D/C/G/G How would you approach this?
