Re: Drummer, but recently picked up a mandolin to learn for fun
Welcome, drums is one of my instruments, although bass is probably my main these days, but mando is where most of the practice time goes.
My general thinking is that given what mando players are expected to do in a band setting, it takes some pretty decent chops to gig.
Mine aren't there yet... although I have started doing jam sessions. It's been almost 3 years at 1 hour a day of practice. But I am older, so I don't learn like I used to. If I was retired I could spend several hours a day practicing, that would likely speed things up a bit.
Davey Stuart tenor guitar (based on his 18" mandola design).
Eastman MD-604SB with Grover 309 tuners.
Eastwood 4 string electric mandostang, 2x Airline e-mandola (4-string) one strung as an e-OM.
DSP's: Helix HX Stomp, various Zooms.
Amps: THR-10, Sony XB-20.
