Mandolin Reign!
Had my first lesson. My teacher is awesome because he believes in starting out learning songs and adding the boring technical stuff in as it's needed. So I learned how to pick "Old Joe Clark" today. And while I thought picking was going to be harder than chords, it's actually a lot easer because your fingers don't have to cover 3 or 4 notes at a time. I'm getting the logic of which notes are where so when my fingers stop throbbing I'm going to mess around and see how many tunes I can figure out before my next lesson. I'm beginning to hope that my dream of playing "I Will Survive/Here You Come Again- the CornMash" for the talent show at my Orff workshop this August might be achievable. Yeehaw!
