      Hello,
      Ran right out and bought it. Word to the wise (I missed it), audio content is NOT CD, but online (which is not as convenient to my way of thinking). Not to disparage, just a heads up. Fare well, h

      Note from Mel Bay's GM. Marilynn's statement in the book.

      A Note on Tablature:

      Mandolin tablature is included for nearly every exercise in this book. I’ve done this because most of these techniques will be useful to many types of players, and I want to allow for the broadest possible access to this material.
