    Default Hello everybody

    Hello,
    I think this is in the wrong place, but I wanted to introduce myself first before starting commenting in the forums.
    My name is Rowdy. I play guitar for 3 years now, and mandolin for a half year or something. Ive been reading on this forum quite a while, and finally decided to make an account. Got my first mandolin (a Ibanez with a magnetic pickup) for my birthday, and i really love the instrument. I like a lot of different kinds of music. I really love country and bluegrass music, but i like metalcore, screamo, deathmetal etc too. I also love classic rock like pink floyd and the doors. But a lot of styles of music (even sometimes metal) I like to play some mandolin over . Sorry for my bad english.

    Welcome! You'll find lovers of many kinds of music here (well, maybe not so much screamo). You may have noticed there are quite a few mandolin lovers on your side of the pond, too!

    Welcome Rowdy!
    My girlfriend is from Holland originally (she came to the states when she was 2 or 3). Keep playing music, and anyway that we can be an encouragement to you, I'm sure that a lot of members would jump in to assist in that area. Don't worry about the English! You're doing fine!
    Stay at it!

    A good musical background is a great start. Heck, I started as a classical piano player, became a hard rock drummer, moved to rhythm guitarist in a metal band, then finally Saw The Light and bought a mandolin. There's a lot of blue tinted grass around me now.
