Thanks everyone!

I guess I just have to step back a bit (or would that be a 'beat'), and not try to go too fast too soon. It's just so frustrating, 'cuz I'm almost there as to playing up to Aidan's speed.

It's just such an infectious wee tune -- so, dear Aidan, I'm putting all the blame on yourself, for writing such a sweet mandolin piece. *BG* And here I thought that learning a hornpipe would be the easiest way to step out of my strumming lessons . . .

Wesley, it looks like we need to get together again -- you're a great one for inspiration, don't ya know! And BTW, my tremelo and my barre chords are coming along nicely, thanks to you ;-) Got some more homework for me to try?

All the best, Áine
