From what I've read, it seems CGDA is "standard" tuning for a tenor guitar. Many other tunings are used, including DGBE (baritone uke), and GCEA ("standard" uke) tuning. The guy in our group uses DGBE....

I would agree that CGDA is the most common tuning, although there aren't a lot of standards when it comes to tenor guitars. DGBE is popular because the scale length on a tenor is similar to the standard six-string, so any guitar player could play a tenor in DGBE immediately. I have to admit, I've never understood why you would move from a six-string instrument to a four-string instrument that sounds exactly the same but is missing the two bass strings. At least with CGDA you get a very different sound.

Welcome, Dick! Always room for one more.

And ignore you? Not likely. In a few days you'll be begging us to ignore you. :D

C G D A is fifths, like a mandolin. Which I believe is G D A E
Which means our chord shapes wouldn't work. I guess you'd have to use mandolin chord shapes.

Yes and no. Mandolin closed chords are nigh on impossible on the longer scale length of a tenor guitar, so you need to use yet another set of chords (like on tenor banjo).

Ugh! If I was there I'd see if I could figure it out, but they're hard to troubleshoot online! Might be worth a trip to the genius bar...

I thought someone got this already.

Mine did that once. I just power cycled it and it was fine afterwards.

So you'd need your fingers to be twice as long as they are?

Well see the mandolin closed position G chord below (third diagram in). That's hard enough to play on a 13" scale mandolin, but unplayable on a 23" scale tenor guitar. So you need options!

Where'd everyone go?

I got time to kill before I need to go to the doctors and get yelled at for being overweight and not managing my blood sugar well enough.

I was supposed to go tomorrow, I decided I didn't want to get yelled at, so I rescheduled.

I started using an app to track meals and blood sugar.

When I entered my stats it read: You are obese.


Now I've got electronic devices ridiculing me.

Actually, I have to take my wife to the Airport in the morning, and I was afraid I would not make the appointment.

She is flying to Oklahoma for son #1's latest graduation. It seems like all they do is graduate, and get promoted in the Air Force.
