Tenor guitar in bluegrass?
I have been playing in a bluegrass jam lately that often has more mandolins than guitars, and one of the mandolin players often has to play guitar for the whole session.
I'd like to be able to fill in on guitar to give him a chance to play mandolin when there aren't any other guitar players, but I don't like guitar tuning.
So, my question is: would a tenor guitar played with a boom-chuck rhythm style like a regular guitar work in a bluegrass context? I'd tune it GDAE so I could still play breaks with the fingerings I know from mandolin.
I guess I'll just stay right here, pick and sing a while...
