5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, May 29, 2000

Jana (Austin, TX, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mandolin Chord Book (Paperback)

This book is exactly what the beginning mandolinist needs - a quick reference to every chord formation on mandolin with several different options for each chord. This book is also useful for the experienced player, if only just as a quick reference. Good investment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good reference oddly organized, October 23, 2003

GB Guitars "gbroulet" (Colfax, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mandolin Chord Book (Paperback)

As the others have said this is a good book to keep handy for your practice sessions. The only gripe I have is that if I want to learn how to play an Am7b5 I want to look in the key of A section. But that chord is the 7th chord in a harmonized B scale so it's in the "Key of B" section. If I want to find a G anything chord I expect it to be in a section on G chords, not in G for some chords and C for others and in A minor for others. This means that quite often you have to search the book to find the one you're looking for.

Lots of good chords here. They're just organized oddly.
