The Mandolin was brought to Brazil by Portuguese colonists in the 15th and 16th centuries and eventually worked its way into traditional Brazilian music. The principal aim of this book is to present an overview of theseveral faces of the Mandolin in Brazil. In this book's eighteen progressively arranged character studies the Mandolin student will find besides a great number of aspects of the idiomatic technique of the instrument (i.e. changes of fingering positions double stops tremolos arpeggios legatos chords etc.) no less than fourteen different styles. All of the pieces are presented first in notation only as Mandolin/Guitar duets followed bythe Mandolin part repeated with tablature. Includes access to online audio.

Par WILLIAMS STEPHEN. This book establishes a foundation for complete mandolin musicianship, both in terms of music literacy as well as having the ability to jam with other musicians without reading music. The student logically begins by learning the ?basic? fingering pattern used for the mandolin-friendly keys of A and D as shown in diagram form and standard notation. Tablature reading is lightly addressed, but not at the same time as note reading so the student avoids using tab as a crutch. A generous repertoire of progressively arranged exercises, fiddle tunes, a Bach bourrée, and folk and blues songs is included, often with online recordings and rarely seen complete lyrics. At this point, the book begins to diverge from its didactic approach to pure fun! As each new major key is introduced (G, C, F and E), the student learns the remaining principal scale finger patterns as well as a considerable amount of practical music theory covering pentatonic and modal scales and much more. Fittingly, the book closes with a dictionary of essential chords and a glossary to aid in further development as a versatile mandolinist.
