Your playing made me want to buy one but they are 1k used! Ugh.

Wish I could see your picking hand. Sounds great! Did you play with a loop? Or are you playing both parts? NICE!

Pretty tone!

So its basically an octave mandolin?

Love it, thanks you!

Pretty Cool!

Very cool, Man!

Hey Todd _ these chord shapes and the CAGED system are really helpful. On my acoustic I dont get much past the 12th fret...maybe I need an electric tenor guitar! I'd like to use this to learn to play arpeggios so I'll look for your video on this topic. Thanks for the lessons

Here's a link to the chord chart: www.patreon.com/posts/russian-lullaby-105660809?Link&

I've noticed behind you the Astrojet Tenor a model that reminds the Gibson SG ,i was interested to buy one , and i have waited and waited to see if Eastwood would have made some for left handed. Nothing to do , now , in 2024, the Astrojet is on the catalogue again , after some years when it went out of the market, but ,as it seems , left handed is not available . Too bad!

Nice playing!

Awesome. I'm gonna learn this. Thanks for posting.

Sounds more like Marc Ribot than Irving Berlin

Thanks for putting out tenor guitar lessons like this! I'm a mandolin player who started with tenor a little while ago and your videos are really helpful to me.

I do love the tenor but my major problem with it is that you can’t escape that high string sound, any chord requires it so its always ringing out and over powering the other strings.

useful

Using a fender strat with the E A strings removed, so im using DGBE and bought the chord bible. If i see im sticking with this, ill buy an eastman

ID also suggest getting the tenor guitar chord bible for your tuning, i got the DGBE one, this this book is AMAZING, they are to the point and a good thing for beginners it recommends what finger to use. They have one for the other tunings too. Its almost a requirement to own this book lol. Im trying to transition from 6 string to tenor as a finger/travis picker, seems to be working perfectly.

Mistake on exercises 3 and 4. The description of the beat cycle is incorrect. It should be 3-3-3-3-4. If you are trying to learn this pattern, emphasize the first note of each of the 4 groups of 3 beats, and also on the first note of the last 4-beats. This is a contrasting rhythm to the steady 4/4 on the metronome. The greatest emphasis of the entire cycle is the note when the metronome and your picking pattern hit the first 1 note of the 16-beat cycle exactly in time🍀

Sweet

Thanks, please keep your channel going almost 1000 subs…

Watching from Japan, it’s not easy to get EASTWOOD instruments, but I love this one very much! I’d like to hear your completely arranged songs.

This is gonna be long, so bear with me.... I got my first Eastwood Astrojet after they were discontinued. It was a white one with the Bigsby tail and whammy bar. I kept it to Chicago tuning. (E B G D). I have big hands, and "Sausage" fingers, so it was rather difficult for me to play. I put it away for a while, but then decided to pick it up again and have another go at it. I'm still having some difficulty playing it, but I'm not giving up, and I'm having fun along the way. Anyhoo.... in case you haven't heard the news, Eastwood has made some new Astrojet tenor guitars but in VERY LIMITED EDITIONS! (24 standards and 20 deluxe editions) When I learn about this, I went and immediately got THREE more! One is the standard one in red, (NO WHAMMY BAR) and two deluxe editions. GET THIS: The new deluxe editions have TWO volumes, TWO tones, AND P-90 PICK UPS! (I HAD TO HAVE THOSE!) Two of my guitars are in Chicago tuning, and two are in Arkansas tuning, like yours. (G D A E) I'm glad to see that you have yours in Arkansas tuning, and I hope you're not getting any flack from tenor snobs who look down at both Chicago and Arkansas tunings. (People who tend to tune their tenor guitars like mandolins, or violas can be very elitist and look down on others who choose the tunings we chose) I sort of wished you had distorted your guitar, because these things sound gnarly when distorted, but I understand that it might not be your style. (As somebody who plays punk rock, it's my style, though) And, as people commented earlier, the shape of the body is more based on the old Guild guitars, than they are a Gibson SG. (I own quite a few SGs so I don't know why Gibson would care about this. Sheesh. Maybe Gibson should go back to making the tenor SG. I mean Neko Case has certainly popularized it, so it would be a good product for them to come out with. I'd buy one) I find the whammy bars bothersome,only because I don't use them. I feel they're only good for Smoke On The Water, surf music, and maybe a couple of Jimi Hendrix or Van Halen covers, none of which I have any desire to play. (Plus I already have a Fender Stratocaster with a whammy bar, so if I really wanna play Smoke On The Water, I'll use that instead) So, to all you people who missed out the first time around, Eastwood has the Astrojet again, but get them quick! Thanks for the cool video, and for being brave enough to tune your tenor guitar to Arkansas tuning. (Highly recommended for a beginner, or somebody getting used to a tenor guitar for the very first time. Chicago tuning is also easy, but some people might not take to it immediately, even though it's easy to master if you remember your early guitar lessons where you learned "Folk" or "Cowboy" chords)

Thanks for this. I have one I bought months ago and had mixed feelings about it.

I was looking for an electric Baritone uke a few years when I came across the Tenor Tele. It's my favourite instrument that't I've ever owned. Love it!

Love the new video format, the fretboard and hands are clear and easy to follow. 🙂

Killer walking video with the guitar in back. So chill.

The butterfly is gorgeous. Where did you get it

Love this!!! Bought a Epiphone Zenith from 1935 converted to Tenor guitar today and the sounds is awesome. Your channel is great, thanks!

I hate to tell you, it's strung up like a bouzouki. It should be 46-46-34-34-24-24-13-13. It will then sound like an octave mandolin.

Awesome! Thank you so much, I’ve been looking for GDAE electric tenor tips and exercises and I’m so glad I found your videos! Would you make a similar video for improving moving triads through the whole neck? Keep up the good work!

promo sm 😉

Very cool tenor. What is that paint color called? I love it. I’m looking for an electric tenor as I play Bouzouki in Gdae and it’s smart to have a back up that’s a little different.

Hi there, I just bought an Eastwood Classic Tenor guitar and was wondering what strings do you usually use for it? Not sure I can find many "electric" tenor guitar sets out there...thanks!

Even more chord inversions high up the neck at the 9th and 12th frets www.patreon.com/posts/mama-tried-part-99575257?Link&

4:String SG ?

Hey, I like the Guitar , that's an Eastwood right ? Nice Axe / Good Solo . I play CBG 4 string open G Tuning ( GBGD ) classic rock + blues

Super fun, thanks for the vid!

Do you also surf? Are you aware that there is an absolutely perfect wave behind you?

Interesting mod, I thought it was the Eastwood tenor at first until I saw the cutout and the 8 tuners haha

Love this 💕❤💎

Can I tune any tenor guitar I buy, to DGBE, with the strings that are already on there, or do I need to get special DGBE strings?

Very cool 👏👏👏🎶🎵💕🌻☀️🙌💝

Great video!! I play tenor as a rhythm guitar in my band in this tuning and its really hard to find learning tools that you dont have to translate for subracted strings. Thanks so much this is high value content to me!!

Nice to see a review of this thing by somebody who can really play it! great video

You get it close, and hope for the best. Thats how you do it.

Thanks Todd for sharing your knowledge with us I really enjoyed this and this is such a cool song and looks so fun to play.

The asymmetrical offset on the horns is actually the design Guild used on their S-100 and Polaris models to stand out as a little different from Gibson’s “devil” looking symmetrical design.

Watch Ken Burns Documentary about country music…always been a fan of the genre but now, I’m hooked! Marty Stuart’s band is in it! I agree with you! Oh and thank you for teaching me brother!!
