The ER-M instrument looks like a hollow body 8 string. That's a type of instrument

Having a reference book with the first 2 or 3 bars of melody, in notation or tab, will help you remember them.

In my opinion...Learning to play by ear is much more musical than learning by notation or tabs. It means you can hum or sing the music and have memorized it. This a far more direct process than using...

I think the key is to slow recordings of music down to where you can play the rhythmic feel. Gradually increase it to whatever speed you like. Pick a few favorites and play along to get them as exact...

This may be true if the electric mandolin can phrase in the style, playing solos in a linear way. I don't think this is true playing chordal rhythm. IMO "tuned in 5ths" can be very "white bread"...

Definitely. I don't play above the 12th fret on my electric mandolins because it doesn't sound good through an amp. [Generally avoid the E string up there too.] With more frets, it pushes the pickup...

favorite song. One...

Careful. That could be a real mess.

It sounds like you miss the social aspect of music. I think most people do, especially
if they perform. Its a situation where you can only do part of the total experience. I've been working on...

The body shape looks like a bass guitar.

So do I :whistling:
