Hi everybody! I'm a new mandolin player in the Denver area, I picked up a Fender FM-62SCE in 2007 and have learned all of the chords and recently bought all the mandolin lesson books from Amazon so hopefully I will become proficient in picking and improve my strumming too. My big news is that I've just ordered a Rickenbacker 5002v58 mandolin in Jetglo! I'm very excited for it and it's a great reason to buckle down and improve my skills! - Randy
