Mel Bay's Anthology of Mandolin might be a misnomer. While it does contain a wide array of mandolin music in both tablature and notation and a discography, it also contains instruction on chords, improvisation, reading music, scales, tremelo, and fills. It's really an introduction to mandolin for people who already have some experience with music, or are particularly motivated to learn the instrument quickly.The most useful aspect of the book, however, probably inspired the title -- a wide variety of song styles including bluegrass, jazz, blues, international, folk, gospel, rock.... The book does a good job of showing how versatile the mandolin can be.The songs are pretty standard, and few of them will knock your socks off, but they are presented in a way to accent mandolin styles, including lots of double stops and tremelo. "When the Saints Come Marching in" provides a good example of an otherwise lame textbook song presented as a worthy mandolin party song.Some mild criticisms of the book are its stiff binding and lack of a table of contents and song index. Also, the book could be much improved with an supplemental CD.
I think this book is underrated. I like the selection of tunes and lots of different styles. If you are not committed to playing a specific genre of music and want to explore new mandolin possibilities this is a good book to hear new varieties. Includes a lot of licks too, like fills and rock licks. So if you wanna rock out on your mando this book is good. Book includes a small section on cross picking. Also has some nice classical music to play. Overall its a great sampler of what a mandolin can do.
It's terrific book, but it's almost unusable because it isn't spiral bound. Give me an edition with a spiral binding and the rating goes to 5, regardless of price. Instrumental music books that have to be held open with two hands should be outlawed.
This is a really good traditional book with great practice sections. It was highly recommended by my teacher. I am not a bluegrass lover, but this book has a lot of things for all types of styles. Good purchase and seller
