Description:

National Mandolin Champion Chris Thile displays his extraordinary talent in this collection of 13 solos comprised mainly of original tunes along with a few traditional melodies. Beware the faint of heart! Cross-picking, syncopation, triplet rhythms, unusual time signatures, hammer-ons, and pull-offs abound in these challenging tunes - all adroitly transcribed by John Carlini. Written in standard notation and mandolin tablature with guitar accompaniment chords included. The companion CD recording is highly recommended for ease of learning these complex solos, as well as for the pure joy of hearing them played by a bona fide mandolin prodigy.
