Hello, everypony, My name is Andrew and I live in Nevada. I am 18 years old, and, as my username suggests, I am blind. I can only see light, but aside from that, I can't see. I graduated highschool recently. About five months ago I picked up a mandolin and haven't looked back since. been learning about music and enjoying the journey. I also play a little guitar, but mandolin is my main love (next to music, my girlfriend and talking with people who love music and books as much as me) Hopefully, joining here can get me some exposure to different types of music and maybe working with others on music.

Hello and welcome! I've just started learning mandolin myself, though I mostly play guitar. (To be honest, my mother just bought a mandolin for herself that I plan on borrowing from time to time )

The mandolin is a very beautiful instrument. I find it alot more intuitive than guitar, and just an all-round great instrument. If you ever need help, feel free to message me. Would be more than happy to help a fellow brony out

A warm welcome from my end, too. How can you read when you are blind?

I have a screen-reading program that reads the screen to me. If you want an idea, Sweetie-bot from Friendship is Witchcraft is a good idea. Or you can youtube "NVDA" which is the screen-reader that I use.
