This can be done on the Tenor Guitar, it has the same tuning but it sounds different.

Yeh, it’s funny. Doing it on a tenor guitar now with same tuning. It works but his chord shapes look different. 😂 The single note playing seems to work fine.

@@SethSchoenfeld The Tenor Guitar is actually a Hybrid instrument consisting of a Tenor Banjo neck on a Guitar body.

@@RockStarOscarStern634 makes sense to me! I just wish Hal Leonard put out that tenor banjo method book on pdf. :\

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@SethSchoenfeld Both the Tenor Banjo and Tenor Guitar methods can be used with both instruments.

[@SethSchoenfeld]

@@RockStarOscarStern634 exactly. I just want the kindle pdf, not the paper. Will reach out to somebody today.

Can I play those exact chords on a soprano ukulele, or would it be in a different key?

[@townhell]

The fingering (shapes) for chords are different. Tenor banjo tuning is in fifths (CGDA), versus ukulele/guitar fourth-third-fourth (GCEA). You can get a fifths string set for the ukulele, or just play the chords you know and try to find the passing melody notes in between!
