I've been playing mando about 2.5 years now and I feel like what I really need to kickstart my progress is some immersion in the music I want to play (bluegrass).
I have a bunch of cds, mostly stuff people have copied for me from their collections, but I'm looking for some particular things in the cds i want to aquire.
Drive
Awesome mandolin backup/rhythm/chopping
Melodic lead playing...doesn't have to be strictly melody, but
I'm struggling with making songs sound like the song they are supposed to be and feel I need more exposure to mandolin players who improvise around the melody.
Solid Timing
Strong grasp of the "bluegrass sound"...I realize this is open to interpretation, but I hope ya'll know what I mean
