만돌린 연주를 시작하려는 사람이면 누구나 보고 바로 시작할 수 있게 구성된 레슨북입니다.
초급에서 상급까지 단계적이고도 체계적으로 설명되어 있는 초급, 중급, 상급 합본권입니다.
초급에는 악보와 타브악보 읽는 법, 기본적인 스트로크 패턴, 얼터네이트 피킹, 트레몰로, 슬라이드, 그리고 블루그래스와 블루스 스타일이 소개되어 있습니다.
중급에는 해머 온, 풀 오프, 크로스 피킹, 롤 등의 테크닉이 소개되어 있습니다.
상급에서는 더 복잡한 하모니, 12마디 블루스, 리듬 체인지, 코드-멜로디 플레이, 모드, 임프로바이제이션 등의 내용들을 다룹니다.
다른 시리즈들과 마찬가지로 Complete Mandolin Method도 기존의 딱딱하고 어렵고 재미없는 교본들의 틀을 깨고 단계적으로 쉽고 즐겁게 배울 수 있게 구성되어 있습니다.
교재의 모든 예제 데모가 MP3 파일로 수록되어 있는 CD가 부록으로 포함되어 있습니다.
