I'm not sure how long it will take me to get through the book. I'm sure Greg Horne and Ted Eschliman won't mind the company.lol. Tonight I'll sit down, rearrange my practice routine and make some room for Ms. John's matter of fact post, while not directed at me, has nudged me over the edge. Classical "themes" are used throughout the book for reading exercises. The method is mandolin specific and starts with open strings and progresses through each string. What the 35 page book does provide is a structured method to learn to read standard notation on the mandolin. Servants or minions to do the learning for you The book does NOT come with any of the following: In an effort to get closer to starting I've purchased a book by Debora Chen called, "Standard Notation for the Tab Addicted Mandolinist". Then I put it off because.well, I think the pattern is clear. Then I put it off because I was learning the material that I got from Kamp. I put it off because I was goign to Kamp. I've been on the edge of starting to learn for a while now. You can set starting and ending fret limits and tell it not to use open strings. For example, suppose you have a tune that is in first position and you want it up the neck instead.

On a related note you can also adjust the options on how the tab is calculated. Change the tuning to mando and you get a decent selection of grids to work from. A window will pop up that defaults to guitar. If you want grids instead of letters, click the note that you want the grid over and do Create > Chord Diagram. I tend to get the arrangement where I want it, then setup the chords. One irritating side effect of this is that the chord letters are then copied to the TAB staff. Then you can copy/paste the notation to the TAB staff for the new fingerings. If you selected your notation as mandolin specific, it will detect notes that are outside the range of the mandolin. That will bring up a window that allows you to go up or down based a given interval. If you select all of your notation (not the tab) you can transpose it by going Notes > Transpose.
