I've got a Dialga too, but I haven't finished putting it together

[–] JoeKis@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Iş that a actual Lego set?

[–] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's a nanoblocks kit, the pieces are painfully small

Beautiful! Playing mandolin is a weird experience for me as a guitar player. Like... I know how this all works, it looks familiar, but it's upside down and everything is very close together. It's a lovely sound though.

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?

[–] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 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

[–] Fiat126@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

ah that makes sense now, thank you

The first thing I played when I bought mine was Losing My Religion - so much fun to jam out to some REM on these beautiful lutes. Looks like you’ve got yourself one sexy sounding songmaker right there!

Thankyou! I adore it, it's probably my most beautiful instrument, though to be fair my keyboard is really giving it a run for it's money

Sure does, I basically don't bother with the other modes because the meow is so damn good

The lego palkia lol

[–] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What kind of music do you play? Big fan of a few bands with prominent mandolin, so curious :)

[–] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Working my way towards folk punk, and a bit of regular folk here and there
