    That was great. Somewhat of a far-away destination for me, but then again, I do take challenges! Are there audio tracks with the book? An informed ear helps my reading!

    Really wonderful mandolin music!

    Nice. When one acquires the book, are audio or video files of the exercises available?

    Thanks

    These get slicker all the time. I love the choices of chords. In a life with little spare time these videos are well worth taking time to study.
    I'm very grateful you woke your inner mandolinist to share with us.

    Apparently I need to remember how to read syncopated rhythms. Great playing! Thanks!

    This etude may or may not be based on a Gershwin song about a lady.

    If you hit that link Aaron provided above starting Friday, you can take 15% off the cost of the book (assuming you don't already own it) by using discount code MB15! That can't hurt. Good through Jan. 16.

    Great playing. Also a great book; Aaron lays out the methodology to creating a chord melody in easy to understand language.
