I am almost a beginner

From rewalford on 7/17/2014 10:28:36 AM

Just joined I am 61 just now trying to get my left hand working with my right. I really enjoyi the practice. My goal is to be able to play with my wife, she learning to play the mandolin.  We can only get better. LOL

There is a very good player, JanetB on this site that plays banjo with her husband as he plays mandolin. You should look at her posts and maybe ask her about it. She is a teacher and seems to really like helping people.

If your right hand doesn't know what your left hand is doing you are probably playing a banjo.

That sounds like an excellent plan.
Good luck.

I wanted the same for my wife, I'm just picking up my first musical instrument at 51, she can play classical piano albeit years ago. Sadly she isn't enthusiastic about learning anything, but for a laugh, her brother bought her a Harmonica lol
Oh well :)
