I played the cello from some silly early age through the end of 8th grade. After a 6 year musical hiatus, I have started teaching myself the mandolin. Aside from the joys of gaining big-ass finger calluses, the biggest challenge is learning to play with chords. But it is fairly easy, and a lot of fun. It is really enjoyable playing along with blues songs, because they are simple enough that I can keep up. Blues mandolin anyone?
I also stumbled upon the opening riff of Day Tripper by the Beatles! Woo!
