 Can't say enough good stuff Jun 21, 2008
As a frustrated guitar player, I ended up with a mandolin. I bought this book because of the reviews here. It is clear. Concise and gives you a solid understanding of not only the instrument, but the way music works. Bravo Mr. Horne!
beginning mandolin book and CD Feb 16, 2008
This is excellent guide for beginners, because one can hear the piece played and then attempt to play along. Great for timing.
However, it moves along quite rapidly without enough quality practice pieces to reinforce fingering, simple cords and music reading. The CD moves from one piece to the next without much hesitation and without introduction...often before I am quite ready. This requires stopping and starting the CD frequently.(am using a tascam) I practice a lot and use the first half constantly and definitely recommend it.
Beginning Mandolin Nov 05, 2007
Great produt for learning mandolin. Seperated in such a way that notation readers can skip that portion of the book without missing any important technique instructions on learning mandolin. technique instuction very clear and detailed.
 Good book Nov 05, 2007
If you already have played guitar for awhile, or you are comfortable with any stringed instrument, I recommend a more advanced book. I was through this one within a couple weeks.

A good kick-start May 14, 2007
This book gave me a good kick-start. I had played around on the mandolin a little in the past, but not for 10 years or more. The book really paced me through some exercises and helped me build skills starting with simple scales and ending up with full-fledged songs and solos.
Most songs and exercises in the book include both musical notation and tablature, to help you see how to play the song (which frets, which fingers to use).
The accompanying CD has audio that lets you hear how the scales or songs are supposed to sound, which can be helpful.
I found the book so useful that I've bought the same author's intermediate-level book.
