Mandolin Sheet Music Tablature with Play-along Audio Tracks
Mandolin Volume 1
$19.95
Overview:
This program has been designed to give the Beginning Mandolinist a solid foundation on which
to build good technique and working repertoire that will fit in with informal Bluegrass Jam
Sessions. This book is in two sections: ‘Exercises in Picking’ and the ‘Song Section’. If you are a complete beginner, then you will want to start at the beginning. If, on the other hand, you already know something about the Mandolin you can move directly into the song section. The power of this program is the audio recording, which presents the faster songs at a variety of slower tempos to build technique.

Mandolin Volume 2
$19.95
Overview:
Bluegrass Mandolin Volume 2 picks up where we left off in Volume 1. The arrangements for this
book were selected for their ‘jamming appeal’ at bluegrass festivals. The material was inspired by many requests including a mix of songs ranging from bluegrass standards, vocal tunes, gospel, Mandolin instrumentals, Fiddle tunes and so on. There’s a little something for everyone in this project. You will find many of the techniques that you’ve been working on in Volume 1 in this follow up work. The solos are ‘razor sharp’, accurate and faithful to the recordings and designed to be playable, interesting and practical in jamming with others. The greatest care has been exercised in making this recording as professional as possible giving you the desire to practice along with the ‘Band’.

Mandolin Volume 11
$19.95
Overview:
Bluegrass music has a strong connection to the old world. The Father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe,
created this unique genre from a blend of Irish, Welsh, English, Scottish and other national
flavors; he then added some blue notes, a banjo, a bright Mandolin chop, twin fiddles and high vocals and bluegrass was born. I was looking for a similar inspiration when putting this project together. The arrangements are complimented with Performance Notes, Background history and Backup fills behind the vocals. Several of the arrangements include Mandolin duets. These are great for playing along with a friend or student/teacher. Multiple play-along audio tracks are included to help interpretation and enjoyment of the music. These audio tracks are recorded at
various tempos, with and without the lead instrument; with and without the lead vocal so you can be part of “the band” picking and singing!

Mandolin Christmas
$19.95
Overview:
The Holiday Season is a wonderful time for family and friends to be together. It is also a great
opportunity to play music! That was the thought behind this series; playing Christmas Carols as a family or with friends.
The arrangements presented in this book are for 1, 2 or 3 Mandolins.
They are cleverly arranged to match the complimentary books in this series: Banjo Christmas,
Bass Christmas, Fiddle Christmas, Dobro Christmas and Guitar Christmas. You can mix and match any of the arrangements in many different combinations to create some very unique and entertaining Holiday Music and Caroling.
As an example, let’s say that you have a Fiddle and Guitar picker to jam with. You can split up
the parts between the three of you. The Mandolin could play part 1, the Guitar part 2 and
Fiddle part 3. For variety, you can switch these as you perform. The second time through the song, as an example, the Mandolin could switch to part 2, the Guitar to part 3 and the Fiddle could go to part 1. On the next repeat, switch the parts again! There are many possibilities. Add
a Bass and you will have a Bluegrass Christmas Carol Quartet!
