i've just got a mandolin and am loving it. I've played guitar badly for many years but it's my thing, I couldn't stop if I wanted to although since I've had the mandolin my guitar has had a bit of a rest. One of my favourite albums is Ry Cooder into the purple valley, it has been since I fist got it on vinyl in the seventies. The point of the thread is that I would really appreciate some pointers on his style of playing mandolin, Billy the kid, Going to Brownsville (I know it's not on the album) songs like that. I'm in the UK, there doesn't seem to be groups or jams in the same abundance as in the states so please help a would be player thanks!
