I'm a guitarist too! The upside down thing is crazy, but I'm not having too much trouble adapting to it. I'm really loving that there are tons of viable barre shapes, working out melody is going to be nuts though lol

am i dumb? whats upside down about a mandolin?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The notes on the strings are the same as the lowest four on a guitar, but upside down/in the opposite order
