Arrrghhhh

You are losing me. I am numerically challenged.

Just fret numbers from lowest to highest strings (so 2002 is a D chord and 0523 is a G chord etc)....

A   6200 or 9745   or 2245

A5 (power chord) 2200

A7   6500   or 6540 or 2540

Am   5200 or 2235


Somebody draw me a picture please or point me to website with diagrams that explain the numbering system.

I am practising G and A scales (lower and upper). Can now do the fiddler's shuffle pattern.

Richard Bridge... you got any spare fingers to loan me that fit this mandolin of yours?

I am afraid to stop practising for fear I will forget what I have learned.
