Save BIG by ordering the Complete Learning System!	Most mandolin students start by learning a few chords and some basic tunes. There is nothing wrong with that. But, inevitably, students come to me with the same big questions. How do I learn to improvise? How do I get my fingers to do what I want them to do? And how do I practice so I actually make real progress? "Mandolin Master Class" is designed to take you from the "tunes & chords" way of thinking into the world of improvisation.

"Mandolin Excursion" is a book of 44 tunes and bluegrass solos to increase your stash of licks, add new tunes to your repertoire, and get your fingers going to some new places in a musical way! Mandolin Excursion builds improvising skills through the "back door" of accumulating licks and note sequences that you will find many applications for in the tunes you play.

FREE BEGINNING MANDOLIN LESSONS If you have never played a note on a mandolin, please explore my Free Beginning Mandolin Lessons at my other site, PlayTheMandolin.com. Then, come back and really get cooking with Mandolin Master Class, Mandolin Training Camp, and Mandolin Excursion. By the way, all 3 books are great for beginners too! But it helps if you have learned to tune, read tab, and make a few chords before you dive into them. But, don't wait too long. The information and techniques in these books can be a great benefit if you explore them at early stages. If you know how to read english and have a mandolin you can get something valuable from the books! I am not preaching to you. I just want to save you some frustration and help you get towards your goal of being able to REALLY play. Free DHTML scripts provided by Dynamic Drive
