In this new series, author Joe Carr introduces beginning to intermediate mandolin players to a variety of essential techniques using common instructional tunes. The object of the series is to ground players in good technique and to impart the essential skills required for continued self-guided development. The tunes in this volume come largely from the American folk tradition. This is a great first tutor for mandolinists with general musical interests. Will work for Irish Tenor Banjo players who use the GDAE tuning as well! 32 pp. Contents are: Introduction Tuning Notation and Tab Chord Diagrams Basic Chords Boil Them Cabbage Down - D Sourwood Mountain Note Set Sourwood Mountain Sourwood Mountain II Potatoes Angeline the Baker Note Set Angeline the Baker Fainne Geal an Lae Over the Waterfall The Cuckoo’s Nest Staten Island Hornpipe Key of D Summary Key of A Mixolydian June Apple Cripple Creek Boil Them Cabbage Down Boil - Fiddle Style C and Am Scale Am and G Chords Bull Run Golden Slippers Jack of Diamonds Jole Blon Turkey in the Straw Turkey in the Straw II Gary Owen Little Rabbit Basic Open Chords Conclusion/About the Author
