Folks, most everyone in the bluegrass world is a multi-instrumentalist. It's not rocket surgery.
There is no reason why anyone who is able to play guitar would not be able to also learn mandolin.
Instead of saying "I can't do it", I offer up "I can't do it - yet." Or "I choose not to do it."
When new musicians lurking/browsing the AGF read the negative defeatist posts here, I want to be sure to include the positive truth as well.
Grade school kids and younger learn musical instruments all the time. There's no reason a competent, mildly motivated older person can't do it too.
