With a tip of the hat to Aaron Weinstein and his chord melody Tuesday series, I thought I would post one for the tenor players here by John Lawlor.....

A bunch of stuff with four strings
He makes it look all that easy. Would love to pick up that style, but where to start?
Its not a backwards guitar.
This man is so talented, I have never hear a tenor guitarist playing so well this jazz repertoire.

John's a great player - always loved his intepretations and style.
According to this post he tunes one step down from that on a long scale instrument.

Being able to play like John is one of my long-term goals.He makes it look all that easy. Would love to pick up that style, but where to start?
At the moment I'm working my way through Mel Bay's Melody-Chord System Book for tenor banjo.
I keep forgetting most of those weird chord shapes and I'm still stuck with major, minor and dominant seven chords, but it's fun.
