Mandolin fun

 A little fun with 3 chords, G,C and D

Couple of guitar pieces

 First two pieces from The Guitarist's Way book 4, Riff and Sounds Irish, the latter played with a pick.

Britches full of Stitches x2

 I dusted off the mandolin (literally) and had a go at this fiddle tune. Not easy, its cramped in there!

Then I tried it on guitar-my first attempt at flatpicking. I have to get used to using a pick and doing the upstroke on the 8th notes. Using a 1.2 mm generic pick. It's certainly louder than fingerstyle that's for sure! And flatpicking on guitar is a lot easier than on mandolin!

Got my mandolin set up

 Had some Christmas money so I decided to take my Deacon mandolin to Ron's Repairs for a set up.

As always Ron did a fantastic job and it now sounds great and is in tune!
