I have, as I imagine is the case for may people here, recently moved my focus from guitar playing, shifting it over to mandolin playing. being that I have played guitar for over 25 years, and before that, I learned to read music in piano classes, I dare say that my fingers arent superslow, but of course, the right hand technique is pretty different from guitar flatpick playing, and even more so when compared to fingerstyle playing. so there is quite a bit of new technique I need to familiarize myself with, in order to achieve any kind of proficiency on the mandolin.
but the journey has begun. and I am looking forward to it.
