2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great book; especially for more towards beginnersBy CindyThis is one of my first mandolin books. I got it when I had been playing a couple of weeks. It has many tunes that I had never heard; and many I have. The arrangements are easy; with easy double-stops; fun to play. I will probably outgrow it soon; but as I grow in mandolin; I will also grow in my ability to enhance simple arrangements more automatically. Nevertheless; it is a lovely and useful book; especially if your mandolin playing is fairly in the "new to intermediate" range.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Decent selection but...By D. Daugherty... I find most of Foxs arrangements of these songs really unattractive. Some are nice and fleshed out with double stops and broken chords; while others are just a barebones melody line. The versions Fox presents of these melodies often vary slightly from the standard tunes we know; which would be fine except I really dont care for his variations.There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when Fox chooses an open string over a fretted 7th string; though they are used interchangeably within some tunes.This book is most useful as a guide to making your own versions of these old tunes. Its also good for a broad exposure to different genres of music. A beginner on mandolin will benefit greatly from the simplest arrangements and wide range of styles.I sincerely wish there were MP3 tracks to accompany the book arrangements so that I could better understand what Im reading on the page; but I guess YouTube will do for now.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Needs more verses By TerryGreat book for the beginner. Easy to get the basic melody down for a lot of songs. There are several more advanced numbers also. The Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is that many of the songs only have a small sampling of the verses. I know that some have too many to print all of them; but it would be nice if they had enough to make the song last around 2 minutes. Some of them only have enough for about 1 minute.
