You might be a Mandolin picker .......

[Matt DeBlass]

If you think Ukelele players must be sad that they are missing half of their strings....you might be a mando picker.

Although I do know a guy who plays an 8-string ukulele. Of course, I can't but help thinking of it as just a badly-designed mandolin.

...if, when you hear the term "Super Bowl", this is what pops into your mind!

[journeybear]

... if, when you look through that page you start to drool - but then stare, stunned, and shout out loud, "What? No Embergher?"

You might be a mandolin picker if you know F-hole is not a curse.
You might be a mandolin picker if you played fiddle and forgot your bow.
You might be a mandolin picker if you love making banj* jokes.
You might be a mandolin picker if you spend your day on this website instead of working.

....Crap! You caught me at work again!

Been a couple years since this thread has surfaced, some of the new guys who haven't seen it should get a kick out of it. It is a time consumer though.

You might be a mandolin picker................
when you actually have a grand daughter named Amanda Lin!

You might be a mandolin player if you think that Morgan Monroe might be one of Bills children who moved to china...

If you have small hands and wish your pinky was as long as your middle. (&)!?@&$ G chop)! I'm fairly new and finally starting to get it.

Reviving this OLD thread for the sake of those new to the forum in the last 5 years. There are some good ones on here! Cheers and Happy New year.

If you ever had to mansplain this: “No, a ukulele is like a little guitar. A mandolin is like a violin with eight strings and frets”

[LadysSolo]

I'll add one here:

You might be a mandolin player if you order a mandolin on Monday to make sure it is delivered on Friday when your husband has to work late.

I've done this. I am also guilty of 90% (at least) of the other posts. I guess I am a mandolin picker...….

If you’re falling asleep next to your partner in bed and you hear a song in your head so you start to strum on their face, you might be a mandolin picker.

when your daily sustenance consists of 4 tiny courses.

If you know who Ray Jackson is, and tell everyone whenever Rod Stewart comes up, you might just be a mandolin picker.

... and if every time someone starts playing "Maggie May," you prick up your ears and wait for the coda riff to see if it gets done right.

[journeybear]

Also, if anyone anywhere anytime someone starts playing "Friend Of The Devil," you pay close attention to everything about it.

In fact, I went to a friend's gig, and they did this near the start of their second set. I happened to have my mandolin with me - happens - and they kept looking over at me. So I pulled it out in time to take a couple of leads right from where I was sitting. They were quiet enough and my banjo-killer is loud enough that it worked. Now, if only they had gotten the verses in the right order!

[journeybear]

You hear a song - any song, any genre, any instrumentation - and imagine how it could be improved with the addition of a mandolin. And then work out the part in your mind and fit it into what you're hearing.

Oh, and you wish the mandosmiley emoji could be used in your other web presences.

Amen to that, Brother. I am not generally an emoji user, but I would sure use that one if I knew how to 'export' it out of the Cafe.
