50 Tunes For Mandolin Vol.1

50 Tunes for Mandolin Volume 1 is one book in a 5-book series. The 50 Tunes series is a collection of Bluegrass, Old Time and Celtic tunes for ensembles, families and individuals. This book contains the same 50 tunes as those found in the other 4 books of the series, but carefully designed for the mandolin.

The melodies in this book range from simple to advanced. Many tunes contain a harmony part to match the melody. 50 Tunes for Mandolin Volume 1 is designed for flatpicking on the mandolin. Flatpicking is a style, prevalent in Celtic and Bluegrass music which features fast soloing with a single, flat pick. All parts are written in mandolin tablature and standard notation.
