In music, the term bluegrass describes the hot string-band style pioneered by Kentuckian Bill Monroe, which blends old-time country music with blues rhythms and jazz-influenced improvisation. This book contains 101 authentic bluegrass mandolin licks in the favourite bluegrass keys of C, G, D, and A minor written in notation and tablature. The licks are broken down into phrases of two, four, and eight bars. In addition, several endings and cross-picking licks are included.

Each lick is played to a chord progression that is standard in bluegrass, country, and folk music. All 101 examples are recorded on the companion audio with guitar accompaniment at a moderate tempo. Whether you are a fan of old-time country music, traditional bluegrass, or new-grass, you are sure to find lots of great ideas in this new collection of bluegrass licks. So, grab your instrument, turn on the audio, pull up a chair, and lets start pickin. Includes access to online audio.
