County Blues on Tenor, CDGA Tuning

[arturo7]

Hello all,

I've been trying to find some examples of country blues played on tenor guitar. A search on youtube didn't produce many results. Any suggestion on where to look or who to look for?

thanks

Yea, it seems the pickings are few (pun intended).

There is this previous thread with some fine playing of 'Merle's Boogie'...........

Dang! That is some wicked pickin! Thanks Mr E.

Kinda leads into the next question I was going to ask. Is there a special capo for the tenor neck, or will a standard guitar capo do the job?

Planet waves banjo capo totally rocks. Very well made, small and super adjustable. It is the only capo I use now.
