Most impressive - fingers like two plates of sausages, but such precision with the plectrum!
My favourite instrument - whenever we can my wife and I go to concerts of the foremost UK mandolin player - Simon Mayor - a self-taught Yorkshire lad who grew up in the roughest area of Sheffield. Not a child prodigy - no encouragement from parents - didn't play a note till he bought a second-hand guitar, aged 15. A wonderful fiddle player too (the Mandolin and violin are tuned the same). He plays all sorts of music from Classical to Blue Grass. Try this for size. Way off topic I know, but what the heck - worth an outing. Sounds great, even on my PC speakers!
