In this, his 26th book, Wayne cuts through the clutter and confusion of learning to play with his simple approach to playing the melody. He then leads the beginner down the path of being able to improvise on the melody by adding several simple rhythms. You'll soon be jamming up a storm. The history of each tune, along with very detailed playing tips, accompanies each. 92 tracks on the CD ensure that you hear all the tunes, scales, & variations on the tunes. Wayne's well-known laid-back style is evident throughout. Great photos too! 80 pp. ($17.95) ]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:00:00 -0400 http://elderly.com/books/items/291-107.htm http://elderly.com/books/items/291-107.htm 2008 -- Tennessee's top-notch mandolin maker steps out with his debut CD!
