"This collection of 130 mandolin solos is an invaluable resource for fans of bluegrass music. Each song excerpt has been reticulously transcribed note-for-note from its original recording so you can study and learn these masterful solos by some of the instrument's finest pickers. From the legendary Bill Monroe to more contemporary heroes like Sam Bush and Chris Thile, and even including some non-bluegrass greats like Dave Apollon and Jethro Burns, this book contains a wide variety of music and playing styles to enjoy." -- Back cover.
