  • I would suggest googling 2 finger mandolin chords.  At least look at them.  Key of G (chords G,C and D) are pretty easy finger positions.  And yup, the open G could be good.  If you can find it, there is a sawmill tuning that is an open G and pretty easy to play and kind of intuitive, especially if you already play open G cbgs.
