  16. Re: Can you play without looking? How did you get there?

    Practice, repetition, scales. I have to look a lot when learning a new song (as I am still a fairly new player), but once I know it well, I practice often without looking. IT helps!

    Re: Do I need a pick up?

    Oh, that's tricky, as the mandolin was a prize, so I wouldn't feel right saying anything.

    I do intend to get the Ibanez set up after I get this Eastman sorted. My husband enjoys playing it a lot.
