My inaugural post

Ok, so I've been playing mandolin for about 3 years 4 years now (it only sounds like 3 years) and it's time to start getting serious about getting better. I've always thought a little visibility goes along way toward motivating me to perform better. So, with that in mind I'm going to record, video, describe, commiserate, rant, and otherwise try to document my efforts to learn to play this 8-stringed beast.

If you don't enjoy the actual music, that's ok. As they say,

"it's actually a lot better than it sounds!"
