This encyclopedia is designed to provide mandolin players with a wide variety of chords in different voicings. This book is intended as both a starting point of learning chord voicings and patterns, as well as a dictionary of common mandolin chords. Each key section includes the first position scale for that key, as well as the chord formula and notes for each chord. If you want to learn to be a bluegrass rhythm player it helps to have a guide or 'map' to take you through the initial learning stage. This book provides a small but powerful set of starter chords used in this style of music. Once these chords are learned, you'll be able to jam with other musicians in no time. These are the same chords used by greats like Bill Monroe, Doyle Lawson, David Grisman and hundreds of other bluegrass players in this genre. While there are only a few chords presented in the map section, they form the foundation of bluegrass mandolin and with them you can play literally thousands of songs in every key. Chords are presented by key.

Mandolin Chord Encyclopedia is a practical, easy-to-use chord dictionary. Chords are listed alphabetically and chromatically for quick reference. On each page, chord variations (different fingerings and positions of each chord) are arranged in a logical order---beginning at the bottom of the mandolin neck and progressing to the top of the neck. This helps facilitate locating the chords in different positions over the entire fretboard. The Chord Theory chapter makes it easy to understand intervals and how chords are constructed. A complete fingerboard chart is included, along with a listing of major and minor scales in every key. This book gives you everything you need to expand your ever-growing chord vocabulary and also helps you understand chord theory and construction.

Folk songs are a record of history which survive wars and revolution. They are derived from different phases of the human condition. Carried by gypsies, storytellers, peddlers, and migrant farmers throughout the continents, they are snapshots of the past, moments in time, frozen in song. The mandolin has found its way into a myriad of cultures. This collection contains folk tunes from Russia, Poland, Macedonia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Peru with lyrics written in the original language with phonetic transliteration as well as English translations. Songs are written in both notation and tablature. A special section containing chord diagrams, scales, and a glossary of musical terms is included. This collection is intended to increase awareness of folk music. Magic Mandolin will appeal to mandolinists of all levels. The companion listening CD contains arrangements of eight of the tunes found in the book.
