Please, I'm looking for help on EITHER what is the best printed mandolin tutor, OR is there someone within easy reach of Lincoln who can teach me to play this glorious instrument? I have just acquired an Ozark mandolin..

Suggest you go to the next Lincoln Folk Club meeting- Duke of Wellington Broad Gate on 6th Sept- we can get you started !

Much easier--- come to Gainsborough Folk Club and talk to our resident mandolin geru.. Jim. ..he's a proper mandolin player.. not just a 3 chord nearly player like me.
Well worth the trip- and a good night guaranteed !!

Gainsborough is indeed a damn fine club, and Jim is a nice guy too, if he's the chap I'm thinking of.

Depends rather on what style you want to play - I'm still looking for a decent tutor, so I just teach myself tunes. Oh - and buy a good chord book - they come in handy sometimes!

Sorry it all went quiet...

Many thanks all. I'll surely come along to Lincoln - don't know about 6 Sept, but I'll be there one week / fortnight soon and asking for help! Meanwhile checking out the websites!
