Homespun

The nine lessons on this video download represent mandolin instruction at its very best. Each segment, taught by a master of the instrument, has been chosen to give learning players new techniques, tunes and musical insights. The styles taught include bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, blues and contemporary "new acoustic," and will enrich the repertoire of any mandolin enthusiast.

The lessons start at an easy beginner level and progressively get more challenging to provide a full range of techniques and bring new ideas to learning players.
