That's what I'd read. And you assumed correctly. I play be ear so I'm hoping
to pick it up quickly. I've got a chord book being sent to me. That's the way
I learned to play guitar. I bought a copy of Fleetwood Mac's first three albums
songbook (I forget the title, if it had one?). Learned the chords to Gold Dust
Woman...and I was on my way. I didn't realize the spacing was so small on
the mandolin. My fingers are going to have to learn new tricks. Btw, are you
still playing the mandolin?

Carrie buy yourself a mandolin!!!
