I've Found a New Baby - Jazz Mandolin Lesson - Melody with Chord Punches

Join us for the Jazz Mandolin Webinar: https://www.mandolinsecrets.com/webinar

In this video lesson, I show you how to play a more advanced jazz melody style on the mandolin, combining single-note melody with chord punches. The tune demonstrated is the jazz standard "I've Found a New Baby," written by Jack Palmer and Spencer Williams. 

This iconic piece, first released in 1926, has been immortalized by the performances of legendary artists such as Benny Goodman, Charlie Christian, Sidney Bechet, Django Reinhardt, Homer, and Jethro (Burns).

Our unique arrangement of this classic tune features an ornamented melody and a distinctive backup rhythm on the octave mandolin. 

This lesson focuses on the advanced melody style using some chord punches, which is a very intricate mandolin technique for soloing or jazz improvisation. 

Keep in mind that this lesson builds on the previous tutorial, which focused on the single-note melody. I recommend starting with that one since that should be the starting point for any soloing or jazz improvisation. 

We are playing it in the key of Dm (F-major) and using closed-position playing for the entire melody, meaning no open strings. 

Embark on a musical journey as you build your jazz vocabulary and add a must-know tune to your repertoire of jazz standards. With each note you play, you're stepping closer to mastering the art of jazz mandolin playing.
