Thanks, Bill. I've not checked out Mandozine.

"Like Bill says, you can play it any way you want to, and the DUDU stuff taught in Scott's lesson (see link in OP) and in the workshop shared by wildpikr (see links in message 13)"

Mark, what is OP? Mike, do you know if there are PDFs available for the exercises John Moore demonstrates?

I appreciate the input here, but I must admit it is information overload for my pea brain! I decided to look back at Brad Laird's beginning mandolin course. There it was: DD for quarter notes, DUDU for eighth notes.

I do not know of any pdf's from the workshops that I referred to [other than what John provided and passed out during the workshop]...can only wish I'd been at the workshops! Looks like Bill may have found the closest thing [in post 26] at Mandozine.

I personally try to adhere to the DUDU format and it works for me...
