Re: The sound of a tenor guitar vs a six string
I am drawn to tenors as well, originally because it was a different sound to add in with guitars to break things up. Even though i have had a few for about 10 years, it’s one of my weakest instruments playing wise. Mostly due to the 6 string thinking. I can do more on the mandolin, but struggle on the tenor. It’s a mental block of sorts. The past few weeks i have been looking for places to get some lessons on it so i can go beyond the few closed chord shapes i know, and scales. With all thats on the internet i have yet to find decent lessons. Would love to learn what some call old time jazz/rags or even some simple chord progressions that work off of the melody, but have no where to start. If someone here knows of a decent online resource including private skype let me know. Im also in the process of restoring a 1925 bacon and day short scale tenor banjo, and would love to be able to make that sound like it was designed to.
Its not a backwards guitar.
