The Kid On The Mountain

Over 100 tunes, edited and annotated by Robin Williamson.

This book takes the reader from the basics of the mandolin right through to more advanced topics such as creating variations, emphasis, improvisation, playing with other musicians, practicing effectively and much more.

Instead of approaching Dropped D tuning via the route of 'Standard' tuning, El went directly from CGDGAD tuning, and has succeeded in finding in Dropped D tuning musical qualities that are very unusual and compelling.
