We are happy to announce the launch of a second course from mandolin master John Reischman! Old-Time Mandolin is now live and accepting students. In his new course, John teaches you to play old-time fiddle tunes and song melodies, with advice on picking technique and playing old-time rhythm on the mandolin.

John Reischman is one of the premier mandolinists of his generation, a master instrumentalist capable of swinging between re-inventions of traditional old-time tunes, deconstructions of the bluegrass repertoire, and compelling original tunes, many of which have become standards. A Juno–nominated and Grammy–award winning artist, John got his start as an original member of the Tony Rice Unit in the late 1970s and is known today for his work with his band the Jaybirds as well as his acclaimed solo albums.
