Re: Getting started questions (intonation, setup, instruction)
My favorite online instruction for mandolins is offered by Don Julin at https://www.mandolinshealtheworld.com/ Among his other accomplishments, he wrote Mandolins for Dummies and Mandolin Exercises for Dummies. He's a wonderful instructor and musician.
The book I've liked most is Mandolin: Complete Edition by Greg Horne and Wayne Fugate. It's three volumes printed together in one big book. You can stream or download audio that goes with the various bits in the book. That feature is common these days.
By the way, I'm just beginning to learn guitar. You could private message me if you have any suggestions for me, as I don't want to turn your thread down a side street.
