View Full Version : I love this thing so much!
I feel like a kid with a new toy,like I posted earlier I`m new to mandolin having played guitar for getting on 40 years but I feel newly inspired,I`m discovering different chord inversions,new tones,the joys of tuning(!)and sore fingers!!
The only problem I foresee is that having gone through the various(and expensive)stages of GAS,I can see MAS coming on!
Oh,and I really like the feel of this forum,friendly,supportive and non judgemental.
You see before you a happy guy!

I'm with you guy. I have been a guitar player since the early 60's and played mandolin on and off during that period. I play bass in church services now and I'm starting to incorporate Mandolin into our Worship. I don't even pickup my guitar anymore. I can't get enough of the Mandolin.
As far as MAS goes, play all the Mandolins you can to get a feel for what you like then go out and buy the best you can afford. Nothing wrong with owning a few, maybe a couple of old beaters and a nice high end model for when you are looking your Sunday best. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/coffee.gif
