    Blues Mandolin is the most comprehensive book dedicated to the mandolin in its various connections to the Blues as a common ingredient for all kinds of contemporary music. From Italian renowned players Stefano Tavernese and Lino Muoio and with foreword from celebrated players such as Mike Marshall, Rich Del Grosso and Carlo Aonzo. 24 original tunes (linked to 24 videos and related backing tracks) in standard notation and tab to cover the potential of the instrument even in areas where it is seldom seen, from Country Blues and Chicago style to Bluegrass, Rock, Jazz, Funk. The authors take us also in Southern Italy and Northern Africa, searching for the very roots of the instrument and the Blues.

    Through specific chapters the book provides all historical, theoretical and technical elements (chords, licks, etc) necessary to define this musical language, not lacking to give a taste of fingerpicking and bottleneck slide on the mandolin.

    Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
    "I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
