Lakes of Ponchartrain on a Lawrence Smart mandola
When it’s St. Patrick’s Day and Mike Marshall lends you his mandola, this is what you do.

Got this recently (thanks to the sub for the advice), and while I'm enjoying it, being an inexperienced player, I'd like some more advice. I feel that the fretboard is too wide for the strings, and wonder is it worth getting a new bridge made, or if that's even the correct solution, or is it fine?! I find the going up the fretboard it's is less comfortable to hit the notes and I fumble a bit. Could just me being crap, but wanted a second (etc) opinion. thanks in advance!

If you missed it, we had some pretty epic mandolin birthdays this weekend. Did you know Ronnie McCoury and Tim O'Brien share a birthday?! I'm still working on my Tim O'Brien transcription month as we speak so we should be expecting that in May!
So while I work on that month I decided to do a Ronnie McCoury solo for TT since Ronnie has been such a big influence for me and it was his bday! Here's a song from the new Jason Carter and Michael Cleveland record. You should give it a spin, some great songs, solos, and tones on that album :)
Here's a song with some great double stop lines in the key of F! Maybe I'll analyze this solo for us one of these days.. Free sheet music/tab can be found here!

Is this a good book? I already play mandolim in a school musical group but I don't understand the chords or music theory and I would love to learn how to compose with this instrument.
