Thread Name: Best tuning for beginner on tenor guitar
Subject: RE: Best tuning for beginner on tenor guitar
It's not...

The strings are just too thin... I'm not saying it can't be done because it can... But it's like making love to a gorilla... You're gonna do it on the gorilla's terms...

My last tenor was a 30's Dobro style resonator... I figured that it would slide well... It didn't... Nor did 1st on, a Harmony arch-top... Not my 2nd, a Gibson arch-top... Nor the 0-17 Martin flat top... Nor the 30's flat-top Gibson...

Open tuning are fine but leave the slide to 6 string geetars... Being a slide player, I learned this lesson the hard way...

But no matter... These geetars in open tunings are easier to play than a radio... LOL...
