Greetings everyone. At age 71, I'm a true beginner on mandolin, with a lot of unfocused (but fun) time on guitar and banjo over the last 50 years. I'm really enjoying the mandolin over the past couple of months and am constantly looking for websites, books and YouTube channels that will help me along.
Can you help me with some ideas for growth? I'm currently following Mandolin Cafe and a few YouTube channels: Mando Lessons, Comandolin and Rock & Pop Mandolin. All these have a lot to contribute. Comandolin (Neal Doss) even came through with a lesson I requested in about a day and a half!
I have the Don Julin Mandolin for Dummies, a useful book, but with a few drawbacks. So what other avenues can you suggest for me to keep the learning going? If it matters, I have a cheap Amazon starter and a just-received Eastman MD504. Thanks in advance.
P.S. One final thought: I've found playing with backing tracks to be an incredible tool.
Jim
