Hi Dunnbv, I see that you are new to the forums, welcome and hope you enjoy the resource. It's a little strange that you are asking about posting a video in a thread from 2009, though. Not sure exactly what or why you are doing here, but the best place to ask questions about using the forum software is in the Forum Software forum, near the bottom in the list of forums. You may get the attention of the site owner or developer there.
Sorry I can't be of more help, and again, welcome to Mandolin Cafe!

I don't know where in Colorado you are going to school but Bluegrass, Newgrass...whatever name you pick is pretty big here right now. Colorado Bluegrass is one group on FB, if over in Grand Junction there are lots of jams, same with many of the cities and towns across the state. I agree that finding someone to play with will be a huge benefit to you. I picked my first musical instrument when I was 58 and regret so much not starting when I was about your age. Have fun!
The question is still as relevant as ever though.

to the original question, how difficult is it to learn to play mando? Probably easier than guitar, harder than ukulele if you're thinking of picking up a stringed instrument for strumming. Easy to get going on mando, and then like any instrument it's takes a lot of time to get really good at it. Smaller though, easier to store & carry around, more unique than a guitar, other people always seem fascinated with mandolins - never quite sure what they are unless they've been around them so a nice conversation piece.
