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.

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.

As a fledgling mandolin player I have found this book to be indispesible.

As you've most likely read in other reviews on this product, chords in this book are organized by key and not alphabetically. I really hated the organization of the chords at first. However, after some amount of initial frustration the more I used the book, the more I appreciated it. I would never have thought to order a chord reference in this fashion. It's turned out to be quite a useful reference tool.

This chord book easily fit into my hard case for my mandolin. It was easy to follow and with the variations on fingering for chords I could spot easy transitions for fast songs. I am a beginner and got this book to help me learn chords quick for campfire songs. The book is so handy, that when I lent it to co-workers for the summer, it disappeared. I'll eventually get another copy.

"Get you a chord book," said the crusty old guy who restrung my mandolin. As a beginner, this book is top-notch, presenting the chords in their keys.

It seems to cover a lot of chords and is making learning the Mandolin pretty easy.

The booklet is very handy and the way the chords are arranged (by key) is good.

Well, I can't say this is a "can't put it down thriller", but it is what it says it is. It's well laid out, is easy to use, and covers the essential parts thoroughly. Recommended...

It does what I expected. It is a chord book. I would buy it again without hesitation. Good quality paper.
