5 Minute Mandolin and Banjo Mandolin Course

[Sue Rieter]

I picked this up on Etsy, so by lunchtime I expect to no longer be a newbie. Tuning up the banjo mandolin now

That's good. Unless somebody comes up with a 4 minute Mandolin and Banjo Mandolin course. Then you're in trouble, huh?

No! No, no, not 4! I said 5. Nobody's comin' up with 4. Who learns Mandoln and Banjo Mandolin in 4 minutes?

Who knew there are 25 chords?!?

When I was seventeen, I took a Tony Saks course called: Learn to Play Guitar in Seven Days and a week later I thought I was pretty darn good.

Looks like a Stromberg-Voisinet on the cover -- but isn't it reversed?

That’s only 1 cent per chord … helluva deal

But those are 1927 cents, so there's that ...

Nothing chiral escapes your eye!
Then, as now, illustrators sometimes flip an image to get a better composition, for example to show people facing each other, or make objects look like they share the same plane. Easier these days.
Maybe too easy….I can’t tell what’s unenhanced or completely synthetic anymore. My 5 cents worth.

Sue, I can testify that tuning one is more than a five minute process. Can exceed one’s patience, and when you’re done, won’t hold.
