Re: Jam Etiquette re: Playing Mandolin Chords
When I first got into mandolin, there was a "beginner-friendly" acoustic jam that hit on any & all of the ususal styles, but mostly classic rock. And, recovering from shoulder/arm reconstruction, it was convenirent to switch from guitar to mando every half-hour of so. Trying to NOT copy other players (mostly guitars but often 2-3 mandos), my bluegrass/bluegrass-ish chop could fit in with any number of styles. Even 2-finger chords can chop if the fretting-hand pinky gets fast & agile enough to mute. (Hard-core BG'ers need not comment, please!)

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
