Ok thanks. So basically I might be using the wrong book. I have been watching old videos from Eddie Davis and he used that kind of complicated 7th chord but on a very short tenor banjo.

Are we talking of CGDA tuning here?

Look at this pdf for tenor banjo chords:

I've been trying for months to play G#7 and A7 chords correctly but I can't still manage to make all strings sound...

All I found is this:

If you look carefully, it says:



EDIT: Via Capocci seems to be in Rome.

Another quality contribution Ondrej. This one for some reason has some overtones of Gershwin.

Hi, the setup on my cheap&nasty Harley Benton is atrocious, which is lesson learnt next time I buy cheap gear.

Local shops will charge me in excess of 60 British Pounds for a setup,which is half...

This is a bit of a short notice.

Thanks Ondrej. I am Italian (from Italy not from New Jersey) and I am trying to see if there is (or was) anything in Italian music made for a similar instrument. I am sure there must have been....

@ondrej has made me fall in love with the ukecello. I am a beginner at tenor guitar (CGDA) but I'd like to expand into pre-Jazz, European music played on gut/nylon and tuned like a cello/viola.

Sorry I can't help you but I can only say this is a real beauty there. Take good care of this old lady. I wish we could find things like these in UK/Europe or anywhere else than the US.

Fanstastic find. Thank you.

I wasn't trying to nitpick or to antagonise the OP. I was trying to understand the connection between:
- Buying a baritone uke born for DGBE
- Buying strings for CGDA
- Adapt the strings for GDAE....

In here https://mitchellguitars.com/mitchell-mub70s-baritone-ukulele/ it says it comes with DGBE tuning, not CGDA.

Which one is it? I am contemplating buying a baritone uke for CGDA.

Thanks David. Still, the mention of a tenor guitar in 1846, and in Italy, is remarkable. I know there was a "chitarrillo" or "chitarrino" in 4 strings circulating in Italy in the 15th-16th century.

Another of my finds on Google Books:

"Il jazz in Italia
dalle origini alle grandi orchestre
By Adriano Mazzoletti · 2004"
...

I had already given up on finding sources in Italian on the tenor guitar, when I found this by accident:
https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Gazzetta_musicale_di_Milano/6bC1QbuW-voC?hl=en&gbpv=0...

Thanks. This gives another perspective on the tenor guitar.

If there is a heaven, it probably sounds like this.

It'd be nice to see mandolin and tenor guitar or mandolin and tenor banjo in standard CGDA tuning.

There are free resources on the Interweb for music theory. Just google "music theory pdf" without the quotes. I have tons of material.

Err, context?

Yes, you are right. I wish there was a way to edit my OP.

The one I am using is this one:

Look at the G7 chord in the second page.

If you tune your tenor CGDA, is it ok to use the thumb on the 4 string (C), for example see the G7 (last picture on this page):

I know using the thumb on...

Buying mandos or banjos in UK is a minefield. I play tenor guitar but I have been keeping an eye on Ebay for an entry level mando and possibly a mandola. Prices start from £500 upwards and that's...
