Mike Marshall mandolin DVDs from Homespun
Homespun Video has released two new instructional DVDs for mandolinists taught by Mike Marshall.
The two releases each carry the title Mike Marshall’s Mandolin Fundamentals for All Players, with DVD #1 subtitled Building Technique Through Exercises and Melodic Studies and DVD #2 Mastering Chords and Theory.
The subtitles accurately describe what is covered in each package, and both are presented in a step-by-step fashion so that each new exercise builds on what has been presented to that point.
Both DVDs include a printed booklet with tab and standard notation, and a discounted price is offered when they are purchased together.
