The tab is clear and easy to play (and notes are provided for those who read music). I was able to sight read most of the music easily and Im not an expert mandolin player by any means. The arrangements were pretty and fun to play.The only reason I didnt give it five stars is because some of the chording arrangements are pretty tough - lots of non-standard chords and some quick changes. That can make a song hard to play. Wish those had been streamlined and simplified.That said; its still an excellent book that I would highly recommend.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The tabs are great! Wonderful for some one who can only read ...By KellyThe tabs are great! Wonderful for some one who can only read tabs and play tunes they know... thats me. I do wish the music was arranged a bit clearer. Super fun to pick up and play for Christmas time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fantabulous collection!By Mayo P. McCarthy IIII love this collection of songs! Perfect for a mid-level player! I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a relatively easy-to-pick-up collection of Christmas songs.
