Customer Compliments

"I recently purchased Mark Bickford's "Irish Mandolin," & am very grateful to you folks for this book & tape. Mark's musicianship & teaching ability are very evident & I feel I'm progressing at a good rate. The selection of tunes is also quite good as all are well known & represent a good cross section of tunes in traditional music." T Greene-Dorchester, Ma

Amazon.com review good music pretty good teaching, May 16, 2003 Reviewer: An Amazon.com Customer from Columbus, GA United States This is a fun collection of intricate tunes for the mandolin. Goes through each song fast, then slows down to take apart the sections individually. Finally the disk takes you through the song at at slower speed. This should be a fun challenge for a beginner like myself.
