that's very cool ❤. I play ukulele, baritone and a little mandolin and I was trying to decide which banjo to buy when I found you. Now I know I want a tenor banjo. I subscribed to the channel and I hope to have a lot of fun learning new music. When my banjo arrives, I will also sign up for Patreon.❤️🎶🌷
That's great, if you already play mandolin, you might want to try tenor banjo in GDAE tuning (commonly called Irish tuning), it's just an octave below mandolin, so the fingering is identical!
Very good. I'm trying to get back to tenor banjo again after being without one for several yrs. aftter the neck suddenly warped badly on my first one. I now have a restored antique one and hope to be using it in song arrangements where I've been using a 6 string banjo.
Hi Phil, You have really inspired me to start playing the tenor banjo, but I dont have the fastest fingers in the world so I wonder if there are many slower songs for me to play?
@@bohe99 I've just filmed a short lesson for St. James Infirmary, should be up inside the hour 🙂 If you don't have a tenor banjo yet, I can highly recommend the Deering Goodtime 17 fret. Sounds good, light, easy to play.
You couldn't just switch the regular strings as the C in this tuning is a whole octave lower than the C in GCEA tuning. You could move the low G across and replace the low string with a thicker wound string from a classical guitar set, but you might be better of getting the string set that Aquila make specifically for this tuning on uke.
one of the best lessons I've come across for tenor banjo. your teaching style really resonates with me-so calm and easy going!
thank you so much!

Which tune do you use in the lessons?
I use CGDA which is the same as a tenor mandola.
Thanks❤️🎶🌷
enjoying your lessons so far...am a beginner

Have you seen Mike Leigh "Nuts in May"?
These lessons are awesome! Thank you so much!
So this lesson is for tenor banjo, tenor guitar and also mandola.
Yes, (though in the UK 'mandola' often means 'octave mandolin', which is confusing!)
Thanks for this very simple and easy to understand instructions. Helping me a lot.
I’m trying my mandolin with this tuning.
It's a common tuning for mandola (in the US, in the UK, 'mandola' usually means an octave below mandolin, for some reason!)

Oh yes, the jazz repertoire has lots of great slow tunes. A good one to start with would be St. James Infirmary. I'll have to do a lesson on it!
@@PhilDoleman Thank you Phil! Now to choose the banjo.

You and I are in several of the same Facebook groups. Have you encountered a group for tenor banjo enthusiasts?
There is this one facebook.com/groups/JazzBanjo
Would it be posable to use this tuning CGEA on a kmise banjolele if I change the strings from GCEA.
