Joined: November 2005 Posts: 1126 Location: Omaha, NE | I'll just echo some of the stuff that's been said already: Learn the E, A, C, D and G chords. Then learn the Em, Am, and Dm chords. With those eight chords, you'll be able to fake your way through about 95% of the songs out there. Find an opportunity to play with other people. Nothing improves your skill faster than playing in a group. Personally, I think its cool that you are taking an interest in this. | ||

It all comes down to what you want out of it. There are no predetermined levels to reach. Some want to play out and make money with their talents, others record and others are content to play on their back porch for the family dog. Bottom line is it's all good. If it puts a smile on your face, just do it. | ||

Joined: April 2006 Posts: 1017 Location: Budd Lake, NJ | O?-- I began to learn to play bluegrass mandolin when our kids were older so that there was something my husband and I had in common musically. About three years into my attempts at it, he was diagnoised with lung cancer and gone 9 months later. I have never regretted the time I spent "plinking;" even though I wasn't very good at it, he really appreciated that I would even try it, let alone hang in there. (I got to the point where I could play some lead riffs.) Five years after his death, I am finally ready to play bluegrass again. So, you go, girl-- and we'll all be cheering for you! --Karen and the crew Gertrude (1111-4), Jewel (CE868LX-4), Blanca (Viper 1271), Jazzey (Tornado), Naomi (1869-4; temporarily adopted), Ivory (American Strat), Gilda (Guild), Sugar (Steinberger Spirit 5-string bass), Plink (Galiano mandolin), Twang (Vega Banjo) and Shriek (Fiddle of undetermined antecedents) | ||
