Howdy,
I’ve never played mandolin and just got one from Ben’s. I signed up for the online lessons but am having the devil’s own time determining which lessons to take and in what order to take them. Can anyone make some suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome, @wkpcl1! I suggest that you take them in the order that they are listed on the beginner learning track. Click on the beginner mandolin checklist and it will show the suggested lessons in a particular order.

Hi @wkpcl1 Walter 
to @BanjoBen 's Forum
I am not a Mandolin player but as a Banjo Picker I would generally encourage students to work though the Beginner lessons as listed. Ben has put in a lot of time and effort to creating these lessons and it goes without saying that one lesson builds on the next.

Maybe a couple of the mandolin players can chip in with some personal experience @Simone @Lucy_L ?

Welcome to the site and congrats on the new mandolin! You chose the best instrument (in my opinion)!! 
I’d recommend working through the lessons following the order of the checklists on the site here. Banjo Ben has the lessons sorted by skill level, and since you’re new to mandolin I’d probably just start at the beginning and go from there! Always best to start off with the basics by getting a good position and good technique down right away! Hope this helps! https://banjobenclark.com/lessons/filters/instruments:mandolin
