Summary: Good ntro to mandolin
Comment: This is a good general introduction to the mandolin, suitable for those with no background in string instruments.
A previous reviewer stated that the book included standard notation and tablature. That is incorrect. There is no tablature for the musical selections in this book.

Summary: Great Xmas Stocking Stuffer
Comment: My husband has played guitar for many years & just bought a mandolin. He was unsure how to tune it and this book showed him how to tune it, the notes, etc. He was very pleased with the book and told me it taught him everything he needed.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book but no CD
Comment: This is an excellent book for learning mandolin except it does not come with a CD. At first I was discouraged but then used another mandolin book that included a CD and then went back to learn from this one, which worked out great. Great excercises for learning the fret board.

Summary: To Much on Music Theory
Comment: I purchased this book on ratings and found it to be very in depth. This is a good book if you have a good background in music, but if you do not it may be over your head. I use this book very little as I have found much better in depth books available.
