As a beginning "mandy" player (I also play guitar, keyboards, and Native American flute), I have found this book to be all the reference I need for playing scales and chords for the mandolin. In addition, I've been able to apply the same information in this book to the violin (Since I'm trying to learn the violin as well as the mandolin). Also, check out Mel Bay's Deluxe Encyclopedia of Mandolin Chords. Either book is a great source of information although I find myself referencing the Mandolin Scales and Studies book more and more.
My mandolin instructor suggested this book as a possible book to help with my scales and get some extra exercises to help improve my playing. So glad I ended up getting it, because it is full of great scale exercises that have really helped me learn how to pick and find notes faster. I use the scale exercises after I'm done practicing my lesson "homework" as an extra little bit of practice, and I like having some ideas to work from since I'm still too new at mandolin to be making up my own stuff. Really great book for any beginning mandolin player.
If you want scales, this book has them. If you want studies and exercises, well, you've got scales, but that's it. I was was assuming by the word "Studies" in the title, there would be lots of arpeggio studies, but this is not the case. It's scales, and more scales. Useful, but only up to a point.
I purchased this book to teach myself how to play the mandolin and although I still can't play, I feel this is a good book. I can't read music and have no musical background at all, but feel this book will help me as soon as I really put my nose to the grindstone. Mel Bay has quite a few good teaching books.
Nice book of scales and studies to improve mandolin skills and better understanding of music theory.
Very useful. Needed this exact thing.
