I was thinking, if you’re in a group of senior guitarists maybe there’s plenty of harmony already.
With that age group hearing and therefore rhythm could be a issue at times, but with a mandolin it’s perfect for tightening the timing up -everyone will hear solid arpeggios in the higher range.
It’s like, how about playing the mando musically like a bass eg. play alternating bass, 1,5 then 2,6 etc. and arpeggios like that?
Doesn’t Grisman play a bit like that when things get very muddy/chord/guitary?
Have fun!
