Kev & Tam
Ok May I suggest you start with the D it fairly simple and I found it easy with the Plectrum.
When you have mastered it to a certain extent you can have some real fun doing mandolin lead .

by adding some backing with guitars in the same Key of D.
This has helped me no end today.

Im Giving all my secrets away here.

Let me know when you are ready for the guitar backing site.You wont find it.But once you are on it its so simple and its dead safe I have been on it all day and I am going back on it now.


Im sorry I can not Cut and Paste from the workplace so you will have to follow my lead again.
