Chords Guitar to Mandolin
I have set myself a goal. I have a few guitar songs, rhythm, that I want to move to mandolin. I know nothing about chord voicings but to me, this will be a good learning exercise. My question is, are there any rules of thumb about moving chords from guitar to mandolin or is it all just developing the ear and chordal vocabulary? Not to be rude I won't be taking anyone up on an offer like that although in advance it is appreciated. I need to figure this out on my own to make some progress. But any advice you could give would be very helpful. Thanks! I am fairly certain this will entirely a lesson in ear training and learning voicings and new chords.
My initial thought process is to start easy, tunes form America for those of you old enough to remember them and then move onto maybe some Eagles and or CCR nothing too outrageous. In guitar, those are fairly solid chords to learn and shouldn't be too difficult to move over but after that, I am not sure what to tackle that might be a bit more involved without being overwhelming. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.
Thanks!
