Very good Liam - great rhythm and tone. You've obviously come from a guitar background -you have a guitar hold on the neck and your using guitar fingering (pinky 5th fret). I'm sure you know this already, but have you considered taking a more conventional approach - fiddle style hold and fingering (ring finger 5th fret). It may not be holding you back at the moment but your obviously a very experienced guitar player and your really going to fly on the mandolin but I think without a more consistent mandolin fingering approach this will slow your progress as you advance. As it is your hand position is shifting around a lot, despite the fact your stay in the first position, just trying to squeeze the pinky onto the high A. In one of your other videos you start with mandolin fingering then switch to guitar style - you need to get a consistent approach.
Where in the UK are you?
