Folk Songs for Mandolin: Sing, Strum and Pick Along Paperback – June 1, 2013

Great songs, clear chording, perfect for beginners such as myself. Mandolin is great for camping as compared with guitar, this book has perfect songs for such occasions

Great for beginners.

I would recommend this book for the novice as well as intermediate player. Easy to follow and even includes tab for those that rely on this form.

As a beginning mandolin player, I found this collection to be exactly what I was looking for.

A must have for a beginner.

When I ordered this book I was very excited. I am just learning to play the mandolin, and thought this would contain a great selection to learn from. While there are some solid songs a lot of the ones that I was very familiar with were already featured in a learn to play the mandolin book. It seems like they could have put some more well loved songs that are not as widely available.There was a lot of good planning with the layout of this book. I do appreciate that there is an great effort made to have the pages of the song lay open if it is two pages. The layout and spacing varies from song to song in an attempt to use the whole page. I really did not care for that, as there is quite a bit of awkward white spacing.

easy to play

Nice easy folk tunes. I've been playing for maybe 3 months and could sight read almost the entire book.

Husband loved this book

Really liked this book. The tab was mapped well and some of the songs were quite fun to learn and play. A good book if your just starting with a mandolin. A more advanced player could still find joy in this book.

I wanted a book that had old traditional songs and this is amazing some classics and its laid out perfect really easy to read over 40 songs going to keep me busy for a while highly recommend if you want to play some classics you wont be disappointed

Excellent. Simple old songs, clearly present in tab form, too.

A good selection of tunes with words, Chords and Tab.
