Looking for a Christmas present for a favorite mandolinist friend, consider the Mando ModeExplorer software program. No need to worry about "re-gifting;" this is the one that once received, keeps on giving--to its owner! Fits nicely under the tree, too.

A powerful tool for the chord hungry mando-enthusiast, this terrific resource allows the player to grow and literally explore a gazillion chord and scale fingering opportunities. Visually appealing, it features sight and sound of a real mandolin fretboard as new positions are unraveled before your eyes. (Find the fingering for a Ab7(b13)+11(add9)/F and light that fingerboard like a Christmas tree!)

This testimonial from Dylan Hatch of St. Paul MN:
"I am working with his software right now Mando ModeExplorer, and I can tell you, he knows his theory! I am actually finding ModeExplorer to be a useful companion to my theory book- I can put theory into practice on the fretboard, and the related options (scales, chords) that ME presents are enough to keep me busy and happy forever. Meaty, meaty program."
