Re: Newbie
My local library had all these great instructional videos by Sam Bush, Chris Thile, Ronnie McCoury and the documentary "BG mandolin of Bill Monroe Vol. 1". Highly recommend those, along with books by Don Julin and the 3 volume in 1 Alfred Press books by Horne and Fugate, which i think i saw in the classifieds. (If you watch the classifieds over time, there's lots of books, DVDs and CD's for sale at great prices).
The best thing (I guess you've already looked and not found a teacher) is to talk to other players wherever you can, jams, festivals, workshops etc, they can look at your instrument and technique and make suggestions. And the greatest mandolin resource, according to Google is ... this forum. Google anything mando related, you'll probably see Cafe threads as the answer
