So--less than a week with the new mandolin--I realize too soon to be a virtuoso-although that was never the goal--But, as I adapt to the strings being upside down from what I'me used to on guitar (So even if I flip stuff in my head, the strings also go reverse pitch wise), I find I'm learning more my shape & position than actually learning the notes--although I'd like to learn both eventually.
But any ideas on how much of the learning is muscle memory?
I have some chords & stuff down--but some of the songs I've tried just sound wrong.
I think the stuff that sound the best is stuff I came up with--which is something I want to do, and develop some of those ideas into actual songs.
Muscle memory takes over with guitar and bass, but that took a while, hopefully the muscle memory for mandolin isn't too different than it is for guitar...
Maybe just smaller?
Any thoughts to my rambling?
