Doc Rossi has created this book for mandolin players who want to improve their technique, develop ideas and learn new repertoire ASAP. Starting with the basics of ornamentation in traditional Irish music, Doc then goes directly into the tunes, in tablature and standard notation. Right-hand and left-hand techniques, ornamentation and other topics are taught through the tunes themselves. The book includes a CD with audio of all 35 tunes and ornaments from the book. The book is also suitable for tenor banjo, octave mandolin, or any other instrument tuned in fifths.
