OT - Tenor Guitar

Capo Guy Posted 2010-10-18 10:57 PM (#362754) Subject: OT - Tenor Guitar Joined: December 2004 Posts: 4394 Location: East Tennessee I am expecting delivery in a few days of a Tenor Guitar. From what I've read the standard tuning is CGDA and an alternate tuning is GDAE. Any advantages/disadvantages to either tuning? an4340 Posted 2010-10-19 12:52 PM (#362755 - in reply to #362754) Subject: Re: OT - Tenor Guitar Joined: May 2003 Posts: 4389 Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands Conceptually, GDAE is like backwards bass strings, like a violin or mandolin. I have an A tuned guitar and it uses GCEA on the high strings but you might like ADGC. Also, try DGBE. I don't know if those will work, but it's from the guitar.

Initially I will probably try the standard CGDA but since I can play a little mandolin I will also use the GDAE.
