Mando-enthusiasts, have you checked online resource Mandozine.com, fellow Mando-junkie John Baxter's library of mando-learning and labor of mando-love? Unbelievably rich with information and support for this nasty eight-string habit of ours, you'll find artist interviews, technical exercises and concepts, some home recordings from fellow mandolinerists, and of course the gateway to the Co-mando discussion group.

Lest we forget, teaming up with Mike Strangeland, John offers the world's most thorough athenaeum of mandolin TablEdit files, an overwhelming variety of mandolin transcriptions and exercises.

If this isn't already bookmarked in your "Favorites" in your web browser, put the coffee cup down, hand on your mouse, click Mandozine.com and format it now!
