What are good mandolin instruction books to develop solid fingering and picking skills?
We have quite a few…one consideration would be an instructional video (this would be the next best alternative to having a personal instructor). For books, I’d recommend a methodology series as opposed to a songbook. We have a few such as: You Can Teach Yourself Mandolin or Mandolin Crosspicking Technique (this one has a series of exercises that build mando techniques). Let me know if you have any further questions or if I can assist you with anything else…
