Book Reviews of Teach Yourself to Play Mandolin
Book Review: Good ntro to mandolin
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good general introduction to the mandolin, suitable for those with no background in string instruments.
A previous reviewer stated that the book included standard notation and tablature. That is incorrect. There is no tablature for the musical selections in this book.
Book Review: Great book but no CD
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent book for learning mandolin except it does not come with a CD. At first I was discouraged but then used another mandolin book that included a CD and then went back to learn from this one, which worked out great. Great excercises for learning the fret board.Book Review: Easy to follow, fast results
Summary: 4 Stars
I can read music, but have never played a mandolin. This is a great book to learn technique and locations of the notes on the strings. Highly recommended.Book Review: To Much on Music Theory
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this book on ratings and found it to be very in depth. This is a good book if you have a good background in music, but if you do not it may be over your head. I use this book very little as I have found much better in depth books available.

Book Review: ok
Summary: 3 Stars
OK for the money with varied info but short on the mechanics of playing. Uses the "low' thumb position. Really could use a dvd. On the other hand, has varied scores of different types of music and gives info not found in other starter learning material that I have seen.
