MB93340BCD - Mel Bay Deluxe Bluegrass Mandolin Method
Book & CD - $18.95
In this book, Ray Valla
shares the insights of a veteran bluegrass mandolinist.
This method
would best be appreciated by a student with some previous
musical experience, as fundamentals of note-reading on the
mandolin are not addressed.
This is, however,
the ideal book for the intermediate to advanced player.
It is filled with
practical hints to improve your general musicianship and
increase the speed of your progress.
For example, Ray
suggests learning a new tune by mastering its individual
"licks" before attempting to assemble the whole.
The book's 27
well-known bluegrass tunes are shown in standard notation and
tablature with arrows indicating picking direction.
Illustrated with
photographs, charts and diagrams.
