Mandolin
Saint Anne's Reel
Submitted by Jeff Jones on March 2, 2008 - 3:23pm.Saint Anne's Reel - One of my favorite tunes to play on the mandolin. This arrangement is from the Mandolin Picker's Fakebook. I highly recommend the Fakebook to anyone learning to play the mandolin. It has literally hundreds of tunes worked out for you in TAB with the chords. If you prefer to read notation pick up the Fiddlers Fakebook. It has all the same tunes with the same arrangements but written in music notation.
