    Roots and Blues Mandolin
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013*

I usually give most items I buy five stars. There are so many books on Bluegrass. This is a welcome change. Steve James does a great job with this book. I have subscribed to Acoustic Guitar magazine and his songs and music are great. Sometimes there is very complex material so I put it aside and come back later.Why four stars?????I don't like taking the chance going to websites and downloading a CD to use. I have had past issues downloading tracks and its been a nightmare. Then calling or emailing trying to get it straightened out. I am Old School to the max, and not a tech type person. There are a few of us left. LOLOLOLThe songs are fine, but short. The different blues solos are a good thing to know. This is a good book for many skill levels. Mandolin is a different feel than banjo or guitar. If you can listen to the tracks slowly and read tabs, you can play these tunes. Since this is Blues type material, maybe even play some scales with certain blues jam tracks to get a feel also. If you play guitar this is a good book to break into to learn some mandolin.

I'm grateful to Steve James for producing this book. The licks and riffs he introduces are pure blues. The songs he uses take a player right into the good stuff. The accompanying downloads for each piece are spot on. My only complaint is that there's not a follow up book from this master teacher. Hey, Steve, if you're listening, I want a "Roots & Blues Mando II" book now!

    Audio tracks frustration
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2013*

The book looks great, but I can't listen to the tracks as it takes at least 24 hours for them to download. Customer service from Acoustic Guitar was unable to help me download the tracks.
