This book is a great introduction to the playing of bluegrass mandolin. Written by a master of the art, it introduces things in a logical manner and provides plenty of examples on the CDs so that it's clear what we're supposed to be doing and we can play along over and over until we can match the recordings. A great book for people who don't live near a bluegrass mandolin teacher or who just don't have the time for regular weekly lessons.
I'm perplexed as to why some of the tunes were done as they were. For instance, you have "Angeline The Baker" sounding nice on the CD track with some nice drones (open-string double stops) thrown in. Then, you look at the tabs for that tune, and it is all single notes with no drones indicated.The first rule of an instructional stringed instrument course book like this should be that the tabs match what you hear on the CD.
