 A great beginner's guide to the mandolin. Sep 25, 2002
By D. Denis
I found "Teach Yourself to Play Mandolin" by Dan Fox to be a wonderful beginner's guide to the mandolin. It gradually introduces new concepts and techniques as it goes along, and it constantly reinforces previous ideas. The examples are very well done, and the music selections are very enjoyable. I had several other mandolin instruction books, but this one was clearly the best, and it was the one that I stuck with. I have since introduced two other people to the mandolin, and this is the book that I had them use. They have both since progressed nicely, and both have given very high praise to this book.

Useful little book! Mar 10, 2005
By Donald F. Proctor
"Don Proctor"
Having played electric and acoustic guitars for more than 30 years, I was surprised at how different it was to learn the mandolin. Dan Fox's little book got me up and running in about a week. The author introduces the mandolin in a step-by-step manner that is quite easy to follow. The exercises grow more difficult as the book progresses, however, the instruction remains concise and clearly communicated. The book ends with a handy Chord Dictionary illustrating the proper frettings and a Mandolin Fingering Chart. All in all, this book is a great tool for those learning the mandolin. It can even be recommended to young readers looking for musical instruction.

Great book but no CD Nov 09, 2006
By Flora Rosenbloom
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.

 To Much on Music Theory Oct 19, 2006
By William W. Muscarella
"Bill"
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.

Good ntro to mandolin Apr 22, 2008
By John Lockwood
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.
