The idea here is to help coordinate the pickers so you all have solos to play and they can be played in the same key. What a concept - a 'Band in the Book'. Within these pages you will find solos for the entire band: leadguitar rhythm guitar banjo mandolin fiddle and bass. The mandolin and fiddle share the same tunings so their solos are just written once for both. If you are just starting out and you are having difficulty-finding solos foryour level - look no more. These solos are written for the beginner level student assuming you can already play a few simple solos or lead breaks. This series will help you to learn solos on multiple instruments help organizeensemble play help develop a steady sense of timing and give you hours of enjoyment as well.
