By providing a variety of tempos, you can pick the one you feel comfortable with and increase the speed as your technique improves. More than one solo is provided. The first arrangement is the easiest. After playing it, another instrument will take a solo break and you will then provide the back-up. The notation is larger than in most publications, making it easier to read.
Tablature is included for the guitar, mandolin, banjo and Dobro.
Scales and fingering studies, although dry to play by themselves, are presented with a FULL bluegrass band back-up. This helps you to keep even timing and hear the texture of the harmonies that fit each note. I play the guitar and my daughters play mandolin and fiddle. There are currently four volumes in all, tailored for each instrument. The first volume covers the basics, getting the beginner to play with the band , in just minutes.
