Hey y'all!
I'm new to the forum and my wife and I are new to mandolin. I've played guitar for several years, but never learned to read music. When my wife hinted that she wanted to try mandolin, I bought her an entry-level Ibanez for her birthday. After tuning it and learning to play the simplest version of "Happy Birthday", I was hooked and I ordered another one for myself.
I know very little about mandolin, but have learned a lot just from reading here and other places on the internet. I'd like to eventually hire a professional teacher, but we're starting out on the self-taught route for now and focusing on reading music. Between lessons, I appease my impatient side by practicing scales, two-finger chords, and playing pieces for which I can find tablature.
The best thing is, this is something my wife and I can do together.
