Movie Reviews of Ultimate Beginner: Bluegrass Mandolin Basics and Beyond
Movie Review: Great book for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I am new to the mandolin so I was looking for something to start me off on the right foot. I have several years of guitar behind me (as well as some violin) so I was not sure whether to start on a beginner book.
The book starts you off with the real basics (how to hold a pick, read music and tab etc). It starts you off with really slow and simple songs and introduces the bluegrass backbeat and the simple chords.
For a guitar player the first half of the book goes very quickly, but the second has held my attention for some time. It describes a good set of left and right hand practice session and slowly builds to what I would think of as more intermediate level tunes.
The tunes are all played on the CD for demonstration, but at the end of the CD there are full band arrangements of the tunes. I am not a bluegrass player, but I think one of the really neat features of the book is that you can buy corresponding versions for guitar and banjo with the same tunes and put a fun little group together.
