Hi Mike. Just discovered your channel & subscribed. I have a Martin "mini" Tenor tuned to DGBE. I'm keen to try GDAD and now GDGD thanks to this vid. Looks like i'm going to have some fun. Cheers mate from NSW, Australia.

Cheers Geoff! Both great tunings. I've written a lot with GDAD and more recently with GDGD. I think I actually prefer GDGD now! Thanks for turning in and check out the other vids. I'll hopefully do some more soon. 🤘

nice lesson thanks !

[@miketurnbullmusic]

Thanks Stephen, I hope it was useful to you. Such a great tuning!

[@stephenedwardleemusic8997]

@@miketurnbullmusic it’s very helpful. Thank you Mike. It reminds me of my dulcimer tuning?? I don’t remember the exact tuning. But the drone-ing is great. And opens up a whole New World for the tenor guitar. Thank you very much.

Great! I'm planning some more soon 😊

​@@miketurnbullmusicdo you have any chord documents for this tuning?

[@miketurnbullmusic]

​@Phoenix_On_Fire Hi, no I don't have anything like that. I think the basic shapes are very close to Bouzouki chords, but you my need to tweak the fingerings as they are based on GDAD tuning. I hope that's helpful? 😊

What sort of sting gauges are you using.🤩👍

[@miketurnbullmusic]

Hey glad you like it! I use 44, 32, 24, 16 on both my tenors. This one is a Harley Benton and I have an Ashbury.
