Mandolin

[Cato]

is there any mandolin player here?

I got one the other day but I can't play any song yet.



I even don't know what I should learn first.

any advice?

[Seshmeister]

Checking to make sure that the strings aren't made of catgut...?

When I got mine a few years ago, this is the first thing I learned.

[Cato]

great. thanks for the tabs indeedido. I'll try tomorrow.

can I see your mandorin?

[ELVIS]

Is that like Ileen and Ireen ??

[lesfunk]

Cato, Would you like to start a Seals and Crofts tribute act with me?

[sadaist]

is there any mandolin player here?

My sister has one at her house that I have picked up a few times just to fuck around with. And I have a painting in my house that my great aunt did of a lady with a mandolin. That's about the extent of my knowledge. They are quite cool if you can actually play the damn thing.

[Diamondjimi]

I want one...

[lesfunk]

[jhale667]

I want one...

Me too...and the first song I want to learn is "Goin' to California"... so thanks in advance to indeedido!

[indeedido]

You guys are welcome, glad to share.

I bought an inexpensive Rogue to start on. Actually plays and sounds great. If I take off with it, I'll buy a better one. Right now it's a fun hobby away from the guitar.

I love the headstock and body shape of your Cato!

[indeedido]

Check out this bad ass.

[Cato]

looks cool!

mine is Blue Bell. Blue Bell is one of the brands of Fujigen which has been making guitars and bases for Ibanez



yes, it sounds/plays pretty good but I want a better one, too.

[ashstralia]

as much as i've tried over the years, i can't play the bloody things. my hands are too big. so if i want a faux mando effect, i capo my 12 string.
