With the hundreds of pages of resources here at the JazzMando site (and growing!), you can spend literally hours uncovering some of the pedagogical treasures and mando-trivia. Accompanying the opportunities for prolific discoveries comes the Administrator's daunting challenge, maintaining order and accessibility to a myriad of relevant topics.

We just made some subtle structural changes we hope will assist in your quest for knowledge. In particular, we've revised some of the menu subheadings to make them more consistent with newly added content. Mouse over the headings at the top of the page and you'll experience quicker access to support materials for the GiJM book, Mandolin Cafe News, Artist CD and Builder Reviews, and a breakdown of pedagogical archives.

If you have a sharp eye, you'll also notice the new Flash Header. We've changed our slogan from "For the curious jazz mandolinist" to reflect our revised, broader charter, "Playing better mandolin." We're certainly not abandoning jazz, we just feel the vocabularies and playing techniques you uncover here will be a stepping stone to a wide variety of other music as well.

Take your mouse to the top of the page and enjoy the tour!
