Me n' my new toy

:)) OK, here's the Fender mandolin I bought yesterday. I've never played mandolin, but play guitar and banjo so I took it up pretty quick. I'm home sick with the flu today (must be the stress of mandolin shopping...) so I layed it down on YouTube. Enjoy! :mandosmiley:

Is that its acoustic sound, or its amplified sound?

[dean2287]

It's acoustic. I just sat down in front of the computer...I have a Logitech webcam and microphone set up. The mic picks up farily well.

Well done!

That's the best performance of a sick man without mandolin experience I ever saw :))

:grin: Thanks...it was just for a laugh. You need to entertain yourself somehow when you're ill. Picking up new instruments also keeps me interested and challenged.

That was very good considering you really don't play yet. Just imagine what you'll sound like in a month or two.

Well, hopefully not worse! I do need to learn a few more bluegrass tunes.
