Thread Name: Tune Req: Tenor banjo tabs
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Tenor banjo tabs
Assuming that you tune your tenor banjo like the Irish players do - an octave below a mandolin, you could search for mandolin tablature.
If I want to search for stuff on the web I usually use http://vivisimo.com/ because it groups the results into more easily checkable - or ignorable categories.
Put a suitable search string into their box e.g. "Alabama Jubilee mandolin tab" (in this cae without the "" Marks)and it will bring up a load of web pages to check out - e.g. http://www.alltabs.com/mandolin_tabs.php.
Of course, if you tune to original tenor tuning, you would have fingering for a diffreent key, but could transpose to the key you want to play it in.
Quack!
