What Will the Classes Be Like?

This course is all action, no fluff.

You'll get 47 video lessons covering Tim Connell's ten original solo mandolin arrangements from the recording MandAlone (2018).

Each lesson begins with a full, professional performance demonstration of the song.

You'll have full mandolin tablature and/or regular notation to print out, so we can jump right in.

The songs contain 2-5 lessons each, one for each section of the song as needed.

You'll get to "practice-along" the hard parts nice and slow with Tim in the Practice-Along videos, so you can master the songs bit by bit.

Who Is This Class For?

This class is for mandolin players ages 7 to 97, of all musical backgrounds and experience.

It's for folks who want to add some fun solo pieces or "chord solos" to their mandolin routine.

It's for you if you would like to learn a couple of well-known songs you can play for your friends and family when your jam buddies aren't around.

What People are Saying...

I can't believe how easy it is to play in time and always know where I am in a song! I only wish I'd taken this course 2 years ago!!  Susan (Texas)

My friends and I never knew how to "kick off" songs at our little circle. We'd always just stumble in and get together eventually. Now, I know how to count off songs, and I'm teaching my buddies to all do it too! This makes the jam SO MUCH BETTER!  Matthew (Ohio)

Tim doesn't just EXPLAIN how rhythm works - he makes you KNOW how it works. First in your body from the feet up, and then with your pick and strings.  Travis (Australia)
