Re: Beginner Practice topics
Well ... good luck. Many here started mandolin after decades with a guitar. Yes they are both plectrum instruments but that is about all they have in common. Mandolins, no "B" , tuned in fifths, double courses, tiny, ........ starting at the beginning is not a bad idea. And reading notation is a skill worth gaining. Keeping in mind strangely enough after a few years with a mandolin you may want to take up with a fiddle..... Keep in mind also that a quality instrument setup is essential with a mandolin. Check out Rob Meldrum's set up book here on the Café. Welcome and enjoy the journey. R/
