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.
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!

Need to dig my Eagle II tenor out and learn some more. Thanks
This can be done on the Tenor Guitar, it has the same tuning but it sounds different.

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