Northfield (USA) The Quickstep Mandola

From the Northfield Web Site:

Accompaniment: Forget about the math. The transposing…. It’s not always about charts and orchestras. Your G chord is now a C. Your C is now the best-sounding 8-stringed, 2-fingered chord you can imagine. The rest of the chords you need to play that familiar song are right where you know they have to be. How many memorable tunes are in the key of C? Oh yeah… like all of them. Have fun getting to know them all over again.
