Mandolin Information
The mandolin is becoming increasingly popular in many styles of music. It is very often used in Irish and English folk music, while pop musicians such as Rod Steward and Paul McCartney along with many others have been bringing the mandolin into the limelight through their music over the last few decades.
The mandolin is also strongly associated with bluegrass and country music, and has been making a comeback in this area, as well as getting used occasionally in classical music. All this goes to show that the mandolin is an extremely versatile instrument which appeals to a huge range of people.
Mandolins are tuned to G,D,A,E, like a fiddle, with two strings to each note, which helps to give it a really big sound. It's very easy to learn to accompany tunes on the mandolin by learning a few simple chords, but you can also learn to pick out tunes or play more complicated accompaniments
