I'm pretty new to mando, I've been a guitar player for about 8 years and I've been playing mandolin for about a year and a half, I'm just looking for some more stuff to learn. I can play a bunch of Nickel Creek songs and Red Haired Boy, but that's about it.

I'd like to learn more bluegrass stuff. What kind of stuff are you guys playing?


Thanks :grin:
