I'm having a blast SleepyCreeker. But I'm sooooo confused! I have my 6-string accoustic and my 12-string Ovation and now this mandolin and it difficult to decide which to play because I love them all. The 1st song I learned on the mandolin is "Amazing Grace" because of personal reasons and now I'm working on "The Battle of Evermore" by Led Zeppelin and I can play right along with the song (almost). Now when I pick up my 12-string it seems there is so much real estate under my fingers than there was before. ApeDoctor says he feels like a squirrel in a forest LOL, and I know what he means. Thanks for your posts guys! I enjoy reading them.

Re: Mandolin (87 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
My daughter (bless her heart) got me a mandolin for Christmas. It's one of those Musician Friend's $49.95 specials. I am seeing in here that there are A styles, F styles etc... What does this mean and how do I know what I've got? For the price I'm impressed and already know a couple songs. I know it isn't the best in the world but it's fine for a beginer. It's also entertaining reading what ya'll have posted here too. Thanks for any help you might have in deciding exactly what I have......letter wise that is.
