Tenor Guitar: Begin and Progress

[derbex]

I cane across this (paid for) pdf download the yesterday and thought I would take a punt.

From the blurb :

Introductory tunes
for beginners and
intermediate players:
folk, ragtime, Celtic, baroque, classical;
work songs, ballads and blues...
...melodies, drones, chords,
fingerpicking, scales, arpeggios
and plectrum style arrangements

It's 37 pages for £4 and the tunes are in TAB and Standard Notation (NFI).

I have already found a few things in there, I'm having a play with 'The Entertainer' at the moment and a drone version of 'Turkey in the Straw'.

Looks like there are various versions of 'Freight Train' to work through, from a very simple melody to a chord version and a finger picked one.

I think this will go well with the Hal Leonard TG Method on my way to greater things, such as Will's arrangements.

The download is at the bottom of this page : http://www.alnray.co.uk/downloads.html
Lots more on there, but not for tenor guitar.

Jeremy, thanks for the review. Can you tell me which tuning this is geared towards? CGDA or GDAE? Or maybe something else?

Thanks

Sorry, left the important bit out -CGDA. That said I don't think there would be anything to stop you playing most of it in GDAE, as long as you don't mind the change in key.
