    looking for suggestions on getting to the point I can correctly fret without looking at my left hand, if I know the tabs I can play but if I have to read it while playing I'm fucked because I keep missing placment, is it just practice till my muscle memory knows or are there tricks I can practice

    got my mando back from my buddy and it sounds much better after his setup, i had apparently cranked the bridge way too low. He also said that is was one of the best mandolins at this price range he has seen, nut and frets where all perfect, he is used to seeing the frets be too high or uneven...

    I tried to follow your instructions made the buzzing worse, i took it to my buddy he is going to do a full setup for me, needs to move the bridge a bit and lower the nut too, he gave me some more tips so hopefully when he has it at a better starting point I can maintain from there.

    Awesome I ordered a Snark, one of my struggles I think is the double strings, I tune g1, then tune g2 and 1 is off again and then once they both seem in tune I play them together and that isn't in tune, need alot more practice with this.

    Yeah I had a great band teacher, I have no idea how I would have learned without them back in the day, youtube is amazing now, fucking kids are lucky. I also have noticed over the last few years how much easier it is to learn now that I'm older, young me would get so discouraged when he didn't...

    Well fuck that sounds complicated for a newbie like me, sounds like time to visit my buddy who builds custom guitars for a checkup, if only his hypochondriac daughter would shut the fuck up about visitors.

    I don't know about customer service and support,, but from my exp with development, from my time alot of it had to do with their acceptance and creation of lifers, so many people who realized they could do minimum amount of work or often no work at all and not get fired, when I started managing...

    got about 40 min of practice in today, took about 30 of that to figure out where to press down on the frets and not get a buzzy sound on the 2nd of each pair, still mess it up most times but was able to get through a few scales that sounded ok, fuck my finger tips are sore after just 30 min.
