The Aspiring Mandolinist: Sight-Reading in the 3rd Position (Sight-Reading Series)

By M.W. Flood

Becoming a great mandolin player takes a lot of hard work, dedication and perseverance. There are no shortcuts, but the way you work and the order that you work on things can make a big difference. Developing your sight-reading skills and mastering the fretboard will make the biggest difference of any skill you can acquire. A whole universe of great material becomes available when you can sight-read, and even more becomes available when you can sight-read well in higher positions. Imagine spending all of your mental energy on the technical aspects of a piece instead of using most of it to try and decipher the notes. Developing and improving your sight-reading now means significantly less work later. This book will help you do that. Immerse yourself in 63 exercises engineered to progressively develop your feel for the 3rd position and your ability to sight-read standard notation while improving your technique.
