Learn how to play 10 Hot Mandolin Solos for Standard Banjo Instrumentals designed to help you develop your personal solo designing skills.

On the AUDIO portion of this course, the lesson is presented in 3 steps. First each solo is played at normal speed with accompanying rhythm guitar to demonstrate the finished product. Next, the solo is played at half speed so the student can hear it under the microscope. And last, a jam along version allows the student to play along after he or she is ready to keep up with the music. *The jam track consists of 5 rounds, with the solos recorded on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th round and an empty space for the student on the 2nd and 4th rounds
