Learn The Mandolin Through the Pattern Method


Thank you for your interest in Learning Mandolin Through the Pattern Method. This mandolin book will you how to the mandolin through easy to use patterns.


Book 1 covers learning the patterns for the major and minor scales. Through this book you will learn how to play in any key quickly by playing the patterns. No more worries while playing in a jam or with friends and not knowing how to play in any key.

You might say I don’t know musical theory! This book is setup to learn the patterns without knowing theory but as an added treat with this book the theory is provided if you decide you would like to know what is exactly happening when you play the patterns. You will quickly learn the basics of musical theory if you choose. Each page has the pattern clearly defined for those who would like to skip the theory but some basic theory if you would like to learn it.

What if I’ve never played a mandolin before! With this book you will quickly gain the confidence to play the mandolin. After you learn the patterns in this book you can begin to play any song with confidence.

OKAY, How Much! I am able to offer an introductory offer of $10.00 for each book. The book format allows me to offer this a such a low price.

The Book format – The cost of printing a book these days really prohibits charging such a low price. So the book formats are .pdf. This actually allows you to carry the book anywhere with you. It is easily transferred to an ipod or blackberry. The downside to this format is it allows for other to transfer it to another. I ask that you before you consider purchasing a book that you agree not to do this, this material is copyrighted. At this price that anyone can afford these books.

Book 2 covers the patterns for playing the pentatonic scales and two and three finger and chop chords. Again these are patterns that are quickly learned. Begin to jam with others and enjoy your mandolin by learning the patterns.

This format allows you to practice and view the book on your computer. Most musicians I have found are like me and regulated to the den or home office that has a computer in it. This format is very user friendly.
