Ricardo Colubi's video 'Georgia' got me inspired to transcribe for players
who want to play it. Though his version is using GCDA tuning, I've made a video using
GDAE tuning for mandolin players as well.

Thanks Harley! Not much of a story...I bought it for a student who switched to bass and I decided to keep it around a few years ago.
Then a mandolin student materialized and I used it as a way to write out his lessons...we covered a lot of Sierra Hull demos at the time.
Now I'm seeing some possibilities in the way of Tenor Guitars and I'm happy to see that there is a need to come up with
more material for its growing popularity. Transcribing existing music from players on youtube seems to be a good idea
but I will be writing more lessons to expand its repertoire soon. Happy ending!
Thanks Roland, great job on the video I hope to see more..... it looks like your guitar is a full size 6 string with two strings removed?
It's a mini guitar...60 cm from the nut to the bridge. A student sold me his mini guitar, so now I have 2 with identical scale lengths.
The one in the video is strung with light gauge nickel-plated strings .036 .026 .017 .011 and my other one is tuned a whole tone higher with
light gauge phosphor bronze strings which has a lot more resonance and kick in the overtones.( I removed the pegs at the top on this one )
Thanks for asking!
If you like Ricardo Colubi's arrangement, try his take on a Harold Arlen tune

Thanks again fox! Here are some more that are ideal for the tenor guitar. I've included links to Sierra Hull's videos:
Arkansas Traveler, Tennessee Waltz, Blackberry Blossom, St. Anne's Reel, Lonesome Fiddler Blues and a blues tune.

Another great video Roland, this is not a very busy section of the forum but I am sure other folk also appreciate and enjoyed your effort.
My only other (lighthearted) comment is .. as a tenor guitar builder, I find it slightly disturbing that such a skilful player doesn’t actually own a tenor guitar!

Wow, thanks for that link! I’ll be spending some time with a few of those this evening!
