Howdy everyone, I recently moved to Almaty, Kazakhstan from Virginia, and most of my things haven't arrived yet. Thankfully my mandolin has, but none of my sheet music has. That may take several months. I recently took about a 6 month break after having played classical mandolin consistently about 10 years (including playing domra in a Russian orchestra) in order to prepare for the move to Kazakhstan. I'll be here a couple of years.
I picked up the mandolin today and played, and it was such a good feeling, although to say I'm rusty would be an understatement. I can feel my fingers not falling on the frets the way they used to, and the tone is nowhere near what it used to be. But that's to be expected. In addition to doing some ear training I'll be doing, I'm wondering if there is free sheet music with exercises that covers the whole neck. Scales, arpeggios, whatever. I have found a bunch of stuff in first position, but I want something to get back into changing positions, and tide me over until my books arrive. Hopefully something I can print out. Thanks for any help.
Man, I really want to start making music again. bb
