Teach Yourself Bluegrass Mandolin by acclaimed mandolinist Andy Statman is a bluegrass mandolin instruction book with online audio that explores the authentic sound, techniques, and repertoire of traditional bluegrass music. Designed for mandolin players seeking structured guidance and classic tunes in one resource, it combines practical instruction, mandolin tablature, chord references, musical examples, and audio demonstrations.

The book covers essential aspects of bluegrass mandolin playing, including right-hand and left-hand techniques, solo performance concepts, backup playing approaches, and personal performance advice. Alongside the instructional content, players gain access to a carefully selected collection of classic bluegrass and traditional songs that have become standards within the genre. The included online audio features recorded demonstrations and backing tracks that allow musicians to hear stylistic details in context while practicing with accompaniment.

Online audio is accessed through a unique code included with the book and can be streamed or downloaded for convenient practice. The integrated PLAYBACK+ audio player provides useful practice features, including tempo adjustment without changing pitch, loop points for focused repetition, key changes, and stereo panning controls. These tools make it easier to study individual passages, compare musical ideas, and engage more deeply with each arrangement and exercise.
