Is this a real guitar or merely a hologram. Mind you this thing seems to be catching on - Leadfingers is playing a mandola body with a banjo neck these days - but then I suppose that's an improvement on his proper banjo.

I love Andy Irvine's secret weapon, the guitar-shaped bouzouki. Fantastic sounding instrument.

I'll shut up now.

Said tenor guitar arrived today and sounds a bit like a banjo but...it's a guitar jim but not as we know it. At least the banjo I picked up and tried to play was a Vega and retailed at £2,000

An excellent book for chords - various stringed instruments, not just tenor banjo - is one I mentioned in this thread BLICKY.
It is a very useful reference as it has all the information within one cover, and wasn't overly expensive.
Quack!

Referring to your Tenor Guitar thread.....

He played on his guitar
and broke all the strings
The people who heard him said
"he should have wings"
And people in Milnsbridge -
they know about such things....
So that's why they strung up McDonald.

Quack!
GtD.

he's dedided to drop the tuning Geoff - but then I guess his tuning a guitar always was questionable - he claimed to use those drop tunings just because he had problems with normal ones!

Just as long as he doesn't go for the Long Drop...
Quack!

Anohter verse...

He tried to escape on his three legged horse.
He'd found it that morning, outside the racecourse.
But the deaf, half-blind nag only understood morse...
So there was no retreat for McDonald.

He feigned he was dying from a terrible flu
From a cough a sore throat and bad sneezing too
No work just the pub, what else was there to do
Soon we'll mourn the passing of Mcdonald
