I know there are plenty of resources out there on learning how to play the mandolin, but I have been finding my main problem is weak fingers and stiff joints! Especially my pinkie and ring fingers! It is very frustrating when all I get is a 'plunk' instead of a pretty note because I cannot get the strings pressed down hard enough.
Anyone know of good finger exercises to help strengthen my fingers and loosen up the tendons? The mandolin is the first stringed instrument I have tried to play. Also, I have small hands and rather short fingers.
