Some time ago I bought a copy of the sheetmusic for Leading Off<\/strong>, Chris Thile<\/strong>‘s first CD. This CD has been published in 1994 when Chris Thile was just 13! It is fantastic what Chris Thile was able to play with 13!<\/p>\n

Leading Off<\/strong><\/em> is the debut solo album by American<\/a> newgrass<\/a> mandolinist<\/a> Chris Thile<\/a>, released on September 25, 1994 by Sugar Hill Records<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yesterday I began to learn the first tune in this book – Shadow Ridge. Shadow Ridge is a great bluegrass tune with interesting harmonies and playing techniques – a tune that isgreat to improve your playing skills. Especially the broken A-minor chord appeares in some places of the tune, chris Thile plays this in a way that produces a maximum of sound.<\/p>\n

I have found two videos of this tune and the TABs – so you can listen to Sahdow Ridge and play it yourself if you want to!<\/p>\n

A time lapse movie of the building of a garage – and with the music of Shadow Ridge as played by Chris Thile – unfortunately the music is not complet – but it is enough to hear the fantastic mandolin playing of the 13 year old Chris Thile!<\/p>\n
