Re: Share your 2018 mandolin challenges.
I'm doing a tune a day type challenge. I've made a list of everything I've worked on over the last several years and I pick one daily (or most days as life gets in the way at times) and just work on it for 30 minutes or so.
Sometimes I have to reacquaint myself with the tune BC I may not have looked at it for a year or more, then I work on improvising over it, playing in different octave/position, play it in different key, etc.
I'm also working on picking up melodies of unfamiliar tunes/songs I hear at jams. I've mostly focused on fiddle tunes so songs are difficult for me to pick up on the fly...my goal is to be able to play a solo - right now a super simple one works - in a jam situation.
Both are challenging but fun and I'm planning on incorporating some new things into my go to jam tune list.
