Testamonial

I am a fairly new mandolin player who has never taken formal lessons. I received the "Learning Mandolin Through the Pattern Method" about three weeks ago and I must say that I am very happy with the results! I have never played a stringed instrument before, so I was not real comfortable about where notes are "located" along the fret. The "Pattern Method" has helped tremendously in not only learning where the notes are, but in REMEMBERING how to get to the notes while playing. This has been a wonderful thing to experience while jamming with other players. The "Pattern Memory" kicks in and gives me a lot more confidence while playing with others. It also helps when trying to improvise on various licks. I can't say enough about how helpful this program is.

Whether you are new to the mandolin, or a veteran jammer, "Learning Mandolin Through the Pattern Method" will benefit you. The patterns help with learning AND muscle memory which is so beneficial when playing along with others or improvising on your own. The scales, chords and theory are big plusses as well. I highly recommend that anyone who is serious about learning to play their mandolin get this series of books. "Learning Mandolin Through the Pattern Method" can help every player get better. What a GREAT program! Thank you for your wonderful learning tool.
