It's been nearly two months since I have picked up a mandolin. No, it didn't involve Doctors, Psychiatrists, prisons or anyone shooting at me, I just was in a situation where I was separated from my mandolins. Now, I can't seem to do anything. Is it all lost? Do I have to start over again at the beginning? I don't even have calouses on my fingertips anymore! Please tell me there is hope for me. I wasn't all that good before, but now, I just plain stink! Any sggestions?

It will come back, just practice and don't get bummed out. I find that blind stubborness can achieve great results. Good Luck, and keep at it!!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

Two months? Don't worry about it - I'm 4 months in to practicing out a fifteen year break - hard going at first, but 4+ hours a day and I'm getting there, so just do penance morning noon and night and you'll be up to speed in no time!
