Messing with the mandolin

I've been playing through a few songs I like with my mandolin. Granted, I'm not really playing the lines. Just the chords. But I'm doing all right. I have played through Keep the Car Running several times. It's just three chords so it's pretty easy. I've been working on It's My Life some which is a bit harder as there are lots of minor chords that are hard to remember. Still can't do the verses, but I have the chorus section pretty much down pat. So I can tell I'm definitely improving. I need to learn the solo to Have a Cigar. Although that might work best as an electric guitar part. I doubt David Gilmour meant that for the mandolin. Haha.
