Celtic World Collection - Mandolin is an updated second edition featuring 56 Celtic, traditional, and original tunes arranged for mandolin in standard GDAE tuning.
This expanded collection includes standard notation, mandolin tablature, chords, tune notes, and practical reference material for players who want to build a strong Celtic mandolin repertoire. The book is designed for mandolin players who want clear arrangements, readable tab, useful technique support, and a long-term collection of tunes for practice, performance, and enjoyment.
Before the tune section, players will find helpful material covering how to read tablature, flatpicking on the mandolin, Celtic ornamentation, the mandolin fretboard, warm-up exercises, arpeggios, two-octave major and minor scales, and suggested tune sets.
The tune collection includes Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton, English, Old Time, song-based, and original pieces. Familiar titles include After the Battle of Aughrim, Auld Lang Syne, Black Velvet Band, Blind Mary, Carolan's Concerto, Danny Boy, Drowsy Maggie, Eleanor Plunkett, Flowers of Edinburgh, Haste to the Wedding, Hector the Hero, Hewlett, Irish Washerwoman, John Ryan's Polka, Kesh Jig, Loch Lomond, Morrison's Jig, The Parting Glass, Red Haired Boy, Rights of Man, Sailor's Hornpipe, Sà Bheag, Sà Mhór, Whiskey in the Jar, and Wind That Shakes the Barley.
Original and contemporary-style mandolin tunes include April Snow Reel, Bay of Fundy, Black Tar Jig, Byzantinesque, Cairo, Concession Eight, End of the Holidays, First Day of School, Late for Dinner, Little Kate, Mimi's Backyard, Raccoon in the Attic, and Strong Bow.
The book also includes a mandolin reference section with chord material, diatonic chords in all major keys, suspended and drone mandolin chords, strumming patterns in 4/4 and 6/8 time, mandolin scale patterns, and note-reading fretboard challenges.
Celtic World Collection - Mandolin can be used for reading practice, tune memorization, flatpicking development, ornamentation study, session preparation, or building tune sets for performance. It is both a repertoire book and a practical reference for mandolin players interested in Celtic and traditional music.
Companion resources are available online, including audio, video, MuseScore examples, a searchable tune index, and related mandolin learning resources.
