Dix Bruce is a musician, writer, and 'journeyman Mandolinist' with a strong belief in teaching a wide range of material, from bluegrass and jazz standards to classics, waltzes, polkas, and other ethnic music. This book is not meant to be a Mandolin method but a collection of fun tunes to play, including; All Through The Night, Sally Goodin, St. James Infantry, The Girl I Left Behind Me and many more. The selections in this book are in no particular order, although the easier tunes are grouped toward the front. Performance tips are given at the front of the book for each tune and all the tunes are in both standard notation and tablature. The accompanying online audio recording is set up so that you can play along with each tune at both regular and slow speeds. You can also adjust the balance control on your stereo to hear both Mandolin lead and accompaniment, just Mandolin lead, or just accompaniment. Includes access to online audio.
