oh happy day

i had my first mandolin lesson today!

it was definitely better than i expected it to be - which was so, so great! i was really nervous and afraid of being intimidated and kind of shutting down during the whole thing, but he was super nice, brilliant, and gave me tangible things to practice. Also, i felt like i could be honest about how i suck and being afraid of never being good, and we talked about it, which was a real gift.

so i am practicing my movable pentatonic scale and some cool chords - woohoo :)
