Hi Everyone!
I thought I would quickly introduce myself as I'm new to the forums as well as a new player of the Mandolin. For many years (on and off though) I've played guitars of which I have seven, a banjo which I got about a year ago, and I also have an autoharp.
Otherwise I work as a programmer and one of my other passions is photography; I even do a photography series on YouTube.
Speaking of YouTube, I don't have a photo of my mandolin, but I did create two videos using it. The first is a simple one on how I tune it (and I'm sure you guys can do it much better than I!) and there's one I just uploaded where I play La Cucaracha, which by accident I discovered as I was playing my Epiphone MM-50 about a week ago.
So if you'd like to see (and hear) her, here are those two links (first is tuning vid, second is La Cucaracha):

Anyway, I certainly look forward to exploring these forums in more detail, as I'd like to discover new or better playing techniques, songs and whatever else I may come across. And I have a feeling I'll meet some nice folks along the way too.
Nice to meet you all!
