This review is from: Mel Bay Shady Grove Mandolin Solos (Paperback)
A nice book that captures one side of the Grisman/Garcia collaboration; a little bit annoying that you have to have a mandola & a banjolin if you want to sound exactly like the cd-- but otherwise, it has some interesting, historical songs on it that will help broaden your mandolin knowledge and repertoire.

This review is from: Mel Bay Shady Grove Mandolin Solos (Paperback)
This is a great method book if one wants to play the music from Shady Grove. I am not quite that advanced at this time. Will love it more later.
