When starting out, the less you try to draw on your guitar technique with the fretting hand the better, but you are worlds ahead with your pick hand. Like guitar, there are a lot of styles that will dictate mandolin and pick choice, though you can play all the notes on anything.Every subscription service has beginning courses and at $20/mo. are great value. I'd recommend one of them.
