Hi,
I've recently started learning the tenor guitar and banjo, both tuned 'Irish' GDAE. I've also just bought a mandolin to learn on... my question is: are Tenor GDAE chords the same (same shape on the same frets) as mandolin chords?
I have a GDAE tenor chord bible, but my online searching for mandolin chords throws up a hundred different chord shapes for a mandolin 'A' chord, some the same as my tenor book, some not. Half my head says they should be the same (same notes played, therefore the same chord sound), but the other insecure half says I'm making a howling error somewhere!
Hope someone can help... I just need to know if I can use this chord book with the mandolin or if I need to buy another.
Thank you!
