Hello all, just got myself a mandolin a few days ago, haven't played any instrument since I was a kid and tried learning violin only for it to sound like the cat was being strangled. After only a few hours practice I can play the G, C and D chords and have found some songs that can be played with only these, but would like to find more that I can play that I know. Have also been trying out simple versions of heart of gold and wish you were here, e minor chord seems very difficult to me as I don't know how to bridge my fingers properly (I think that's what my boyfreind says the problem is, could be wrong) My other half plays guitar and I thought would be fun to find some things we can play together. He tried to teach me some guitar but my small hands found it hard to reach the chords... Any ideas for easy/basic stuff that I could learn, and I'll let him play the more complicated stuff on the guitar for now. Any help gratefully appreciated I am a complete beginner but so far already loving my mandolin, and vaguely sounding like I can play some music for the first time ever...
