My husband would call this "grousing" and perhaps it is.
I've been having lots of fun with my "new" Mid-Mo M-15, learning to play it at the same time I learn to play my mandolins. I have dipped my toe into music theory, and my whole foot is currently immersed; soon I will venture into the deep end. I wish there was no covid and I could find a live instructor to sit in the same room with, but there it is.
With the mandolins, there is such an abundance of potential self-study materials that my problem is choosing the most personally effective ones. Sometimes the choices seem overwhelming.
With the mandola.... nuthin. I got nuthin. Nothing at all with a picture of a mandola on the front of it. I've got a couple tenor banjo books, but somehow that doesn't seem exactly right. I thought I found a DVD (Intro to the Mandola by Wisdom of the Woods), but it turned out to be out of print and unavailable.
How come? Do all the mandola players already know how to play?
Where are all the mandola books?
