Presented in both Tablature and Music Notation
The music is presented in both music notation and Mandolin Tablature (for people that do not read music). The music notation is clear and crisp. This book will help you to learn the tunes quickly whether you read the tablature or the music notation.
The CD, played by Allan and Aleksandra, gives the musician the advantage of being able to hear how these songs can be played and will make the learning process easier. This is a high quality Digital recording (DDD). In addition to helping the player become familiar with the music, it will also be a source of listening pleasure. You can also turn down either channel (mandolin or guitar) and play along with the CD.
Once you listen to "Si Tuvieramos Aceite" and you will know that you made the right decision in buying this book. These are some of the sounds you have always wanted to play but did not have the music or tablature for. They are Spanish and South American melodies that are unforgettable. I'm betting that when you listen to this CD, you will grab the book and look for one of the tunes you are listening to thinking "I just have to play that." Perhaps the piece that first captures you is the Flamenco dance "Sevillanas" on page 5, or one of my favorites "A la mar fui por naranxes" on page 24. Whichever one snares you first, there will be plenty more which will have you coming back again and again to play them. This is great music.
