Re: Mandolin for beginners - P Gelling - fingering
Never seen Gelling’s book. This is basic starter position on the fretboard. One finger covers 2 frets. Obviously, you’ll modify positions as you move around. Essential concept: covering 8 frets with 4 fingers.
If you’re just getting started, maybe a basic video or live lesson would get you off on the right path. Check out Mandolessons.com (free with optional donation). Baron has a beginner series that might help you with some basics. Wish I’d known about it when I started.
Also, you’ll find great all around info in Mandolins for Dummies by Don Julin.
