I saw a chart of two-finger mandolin chords yesterday on the web; but, I forgot to bookmark the page. Do any of you mandolin players know where I can find it or something like it?

Thanks in advance, Áine

Aine - You need to make the trip over to Ft Worth one of these days so I can spend about 15 minutes showing you everything I know. Some of those 2 finger chords can be moved around to make some interesting combinations for instance. PM me sometime - but I'll be out of town this weekend. Take care - Wesley

I thought this was going to be about some Django of the Mando virtuoso who was short a few fingers and was showing the world that less is more.

Very handy little chart there. Actually I've realised that the only chords I tend to play on the mandolin are two fingered anyway - but now I've got a few more to use.

Y'know if you can just add one more finger { can you say barre chord ? } it will open up a whole new world.

Hey Wesley,

Any time you want to get together with our mandos (maybe come over and see Moon on the Hill?), I'll be ready!! I'll PM you with the new phone number and addy. It might take you just 15 minutes to show me what you know (yeah, right); but, I'm sure it'll take me a wee bit longer to pick it all up (hahahaha).
