Novice mando player in Gainesville, Georgia. Does anyone know of a experienced Mando teacher in my area.

If you are interested in driving up to Clarkesville, I know a guy who gives lessons. Really talented young man. He gives lessons on Saturday mornings. Send a PM and I can get you intouch with him.

I live just outside Clarkesville!! Just picked up the mandolin a couple months ago.

I hate when this happens.. I have been looking for mandolin players around Atlanta for a while now.. But i am going to move in 2 weeks.. But if anyone wants to get together before i leave i would love too! I am in Woodstock about 35 mins north of Atlanta!
cheers
Gary

You are in Gainesville?

**mandodan1960** · Dec-03-2005, 4:46pm

Yes, I live on the 400 side of Gainesville/Dawsonville.

**mandolin123** · Dec-04-2005, 5:39pm

not too far

**Crowder** · Dec-04-2005, 5:42pm

There are a few regular jams in and around the Ringgold, GA area. That's "way" North GA, but you asked

I know there is a very active mandolin community in Atlanta too, including several guys post here or used to.

Take a ride to Everetts music Barn.music barn

I'm about an hour from there depending on the traffic

I ve been to Everett's many a time. The best is to get there early and go in the house to hear the warm-up. The acoustics are good in the small room and the musicianship is top-notch to watch up close. Another great spot is at "Mitch Simpson's" Universal Chevrolet in Cleveland, Georgia. Mitch is a excellent mandolinist who books bands that just so happen to have GREAT !! mandolinist in thier line up. I can't begin to mention all the unbelievable musicians he has exposed me to and I've only been 6 or 7 times. All free except for the North Georgia Blugrass festival he has in July. Last year it was once a month 3rd friday April through October I think. Well worth the trip and there is camping close by. Check it out!
