Re: How to get started for a Newbie
Where do you go from here? Straight to the poor house.
Seriously, my advise is get a metronome and start your practice with scales, scale patterns, and arpeggios. Maybe the first third of your practice time on this and reward yourself with some fiddle tunes, and while you're at it, learn to comp the chords behind the melody. You'll never know when someone will want to play with you.
If possible, take a few lessons just to make sure you aren't forming any bad habits.
Whatever you do, make sure your mandolin is properly set up. Soon enough you will want a really good mandolin. See first statement.
