Hi all,

I know I've been posting often - that's been my personality - deeply into things for 3 to 6 months, then out and 'doggie paddling' along until the next thing of interest.

So I'm finally connecting all the equipment I've acquired over the years (and played with a little bit item by item) into a working studio where EVERYTHING is plugged in and can work at the same time - with help from you guys on the previous Power post. That's going well.

Onto the next bucket item - I've had banjo, mando, bass, sitting unused for quite some time. A few of you have just shared some great websites for learning mando and banjo.

Finally my question - if you're a guitar player that is very comfortable with the fretboard and music theory - and you've transitioned to any of the 3 instruments mentioned (mando, banjo, bass), please share your approach and insights gained in transferring your music skills over to the next instrument - in particular, things like:

1.) Aha moments
2.) tricks or practice routines that helped you transfer your knowledge quicker
3.) what you found most challenging or different about the new instrument with respect to the guitar

As always - thanks to all who generously share their expertise and experience.
