Topic: Tenor guitars...

Hi All,
New member here.
I'm a totally failed guitar player, who turned to ukulele to exercise his very limited abilities. ..
I've got on really well with the uke and as an experimenter have been through all the sizes seeking the best fit and feel..
I then found the tenor guitar, which I loved the size and feel of , and tuned it to Ukulele tuning of Gcea, and it's been good to me.
This Xmas I had a pressie of a fabulous new tenor guitar which is tuned to the standard tenor guitar of CGDA and sounds fantastic..so good that I want to
keep it tuned that way and learn the new chord shapes and some songs.. I'm not finding that too easy as yet, far more complicated than the uke....
The thing is, the resources online are very limited and I was wondering if anyone knew of any that I may have missed..
Also, big favour from this site ...any chance of having this tuning as an option on your songs, it is becoming a more popular instrument  nowadays.
Thanks in advance...

Re: Tenor guitars...

Welcome Penceffel,

This tuning and chord shapes is already available,

GCEA is ukulele 'C' tuning so, if you select this option in Resources, the songs that you choose will show the correct chord grids.

Re: Tenor guitars...

Hi Roger,
I'm fine with the GCEA  tuning , it's the CGEA that the tenor is normally tuned to, that i'd like to persevere with, is the option I'd like added.

Hi Y'all,
Just wanted to let you know that I've given in and retuned my Tenor guitar to GCEA and it sounds great, so no more worries, thanks anyway...
