I was so excited to find this. I have the book for guitar and really enjoy it. Recently I have taken up the mandolin and with a little proficiency now I'm looking for songs to play. This is intermediate level material. If you are a beginner,persevere, you'll get there soon.It's a good idea to purchase the music cd which is sold separately so you can hear how the songs are played. There are a lot of different versions of old standards.If you like this kind of music I also recommend the Southern Mountain series that Mel Bay puts out. The songs are very authentic for Western NC (my original home) and there is a book with the same songs for each instrument. I have the dulcimer, guitar and mandolin books. There are also fiddle and banjo.
A nice book that captures one side of the Grisman/Garcia collaboration; a little bit annoying that you have to have a mandola & a banjolin if you want to sound exactly like the cd-- but otherwise, it has some interesting, historical songs on it that will help broaden your mandolin knowledge and repertoire.
This is a great method book if one wants to play the music from Shady Grove. I am not quite that advanced at this time. Will love it more later.
