Learning anything?
Yes - but mostly how little I know. I'm still getting the Trinity College octave mandolin in playing condition. It arrived in need of new strings, but I did manage to tune the old strings to standard mandolin settings and try my hand at playing basic chords and scales. I'm experiencing interference with my guitar playing habits (and uke "habits") - if that is the right label. Mix in a little tenor guitar and I find myself spending a lot of time looking at chord charts - something I rarely do when playing guitar alone. Out of this confusion will come some kind of understanding - at least that is what I want to believe.
If anyone else has been down this road, I'd be interested in hearing your story.
