Mandolin instructors

[DENNY7P]

Does any body know any instructors in the quad cities il. I have been study on my own for the last 1 1/2 years but i think i could stand some pointers!

Along this same thought - Does anyone know of online mandolin lessons similar to Jamplay for guitar? A lot of their lessons are quite helpful for guitar and it would be great if there is also something similar for mando.

Actually, I'm not positive Troy has mandolin content, but it may be coming soon.

I can personally vouch for the first two.

Mike's lessons are great if you are into bluegrass, old country blues, monroe-style, etc.

I agree with the Mike Compton on-line. They're real time face to face feedback. Mike's a great guy and a patient teacher. He'll get you going in the right direction with some challenging and rewarding tunes.

Thanks - I will check them out.

Hi, Denny. I live in Bettendorf and would be glad to get together with you sometime. I'm not a teacher per se but I'd be glad to play some tunes with you and talk about your playing. I'm thinking about starting a monthly mandolin session at Mojo's in the RME the first Thursday of the month. That might be of interest to you, too. I also highly recommend Mike Compton if you're interested in Monroe and traditional-style playing. Even if you aren't, it's a great place to start. PM me if you want to get together.
