Mandolin vs Guitar - Do you agree?
So I've been playing mandolin for the last six months, swapping back and forth between that and my guitar. And I've come to some conclusions:
Playing mandolin is easier than playing guitar, but sounding good while playing is easier on guitar than on mandolin.
I find that when my tone is suffering on mandolin, it's because I'm not fingering the note close enough to the fret.
When I'm having a "bad tone day," I can usually fix it by running scales.

Klos Carbon Fiber (on order)
And still saving my nickels & dimes & bottle caps & breakfast cereal box tops for my lifetime mandolin.
