This is the companion edition that goes with the other book I reviewed by the same publisher. One more is called the Mandolin Primer. Get all tree and you should be set.

The photos of "correct" and "incorrect" right hand picking technique should be removed. Go find a video of Sam Bush or Chris Thile playing and watch how the pick and strum. According to Hal Leonard, Sam and Chris aren't playing "correctly." Seriously?!?

    • Very useful book!
Really liking this book so far. Breaks everything down and uses real music. Teaches the notes, strumming, and tab for those who need it but what I like most it encourages you to actually LEARN music and not be dependent on tab. I'm trying to learn tab because unfortunately that's the only way some music is offered. Learning music is crucial in my opinion. But this book offers everything you need together through each step. ... show more

    • Get up and running quickly
This book appears designed to get you up and running quickly with bluegrass style techniques and songs. I haven't really used it, preferring instead to take the full systematic approach to learning the mandolin as I did nearly 70 years ago with the violin. That approach is best served by Mel Bay's Complete Mandolin Method. The Leonard book, however, appears to me to be better than others I have seen along similar lines. I do recommend getting a teacher no matter what book you use. My teacher has them all and is prepared to use them all. ... show more
