Here’s Bob in the backyard on his mando pick’n the Bluegrass Stomp. And also not in scene and out of frame was his favorite English Bulldog, Turd! Bob Passed away April 11, 2009 after a 20 month battle with cancer. I’m so blessed to at least have his recordings to remember him by. He was more than a husband to me and I miss him terribly.

to answer your question the mandolin is tuned in 5ths up. or 7 frets down. eadg from bottom to top rather than the ebgdae of a guitar. four pairs. the scales actually are easier to reach but some of the chords are a stretch. my crooked pinkie doesn’t limit me much on the guitar but i have to fake my way around some of the chords on the mandolin for the stretch and the limited space on the fret board. i got a rogue a body on line for cheap. it was an awesome investment for the price.

hello would like to know which level you are using. I want to buy a mandolin bluegrass folk harrison mark, and I wonder if that mark is good. on the other hand I have knowledge on guitar, I wonder if similar use. taking into account the chords scales.
