Nice one Tony. This feedback means a hell of a lot.

Every word you are saying could be transcribed poetry. I've just watch Everything Everything playing To The Blade, which has brought me here. What a beautiful instrument!

What a gift to play like that.....

That first English folk song tore at my heart. There's a tale or two behind it, the human condition explained in a fine mastery..thank you deeply

It was a beautifully played rendition, but it isn't an English folk song.

I recently purchased an Ibanez tenor guitar. That was absolutely beautiful playing. Damn! I wish I could play like that! I'd best get practicing!

Do you like it? Do they offer a tenor electric guitar? Hope you are getting good at it.

@@lifeonamarble961 I purchased it on Amazon. As far as I know, they don't offer an electric version. And yes, I do like it. It plays beautifully.

Watching from Newark, NJ!

that is spectacular

Richard makes it sound so easy - which it is on the ear Superb.

Your passion and the beauty of your playing are just a pleasure to witness.

Skye Boat Song AND Bach? Wonderful!

Beautifully played and it sounds gorgeous. I’m putting a tenor guitar on my wishlist.

Skye Boat Song works so magnificently on this instrument! Thank you for playing!

That’s just beautiful.

Beautiful instrument played beautifully.

So good to hear a tenor masterfully played in its original tuning of C-G-D-A instead of Chicago tuning that I'm hearing in most other videos. Thank you for transporting us with your music!

Captivating! Bravo!!!

Stunning sound and stunning playing. Thank you for sharing.

Such a magical sound!

Very well played and recorded! Enjoyed that!

Stunning sound.

Just fantastic!

How wonderfully played

Simply beautiful!

👏👏👏 BRAVO ! 🌹

Wonderful ! Thank you for sharing this with us. .

Amazingly beautiful playing!

Sounds so nice, my mom gave me a tenor Key Kord for my birthday, can not wait to get some stings on it and give it a run.

Gorgeous!

That. Was. AWESOME!

Just beautiful Richard Durrant..........nice.

so....I guess I need a tenor acoustic now. There is such a brilliant sparkle and top end to those strings. Fantastic playing

Wonderful tone thank you

Thanks. Both informative and beautiful.

absolutely beautiful playing and damn I need one of those

Beautiful!!!

Richard your wonderful playing inspired me to get a tenor guitar. Thank you very interesting addition to my regular guitar. I’ve been sharing this video, well done!

OK, I'm hooked, off out to get me a tenor guitar! Lovely playing, thanks

That sounds really beautiful. Nice, clean articulation.

Great video and playing. I'm on my third round and I'm inspired to get a tenor guitar. Cheers!

How could I not enjoy that - superb.

Thanks Richard Durant, excellent performance and interesting video .

Thank you for the introduction to tenor guitar... very fascinating indeed ! I'm amazed ... such a full sound from a diminutive instrument....reminiscent of a 12 string guitar as well.

Fantastic playing.

Great video. Appreciated

Amazing......

Loved this. Thanks for sharing...(new bucket list item). Beautiful. 👍❤

Fantastic!

Very lovely ,,,, a real treat.

Amazing.

I've loved the tenor guitar for years! I'm a big Kingston Trio fan and general folk music fanatic. Nick Reynolds and Rick Dougherty have played tenor guitar in DGBE tuning in the band it adds so much to the Trio's sound. Guitar, banjo and tenor guitar are the instuments they used and I made a point of owning and playing all three. I have a pretty nice, if old, tenor guitar and I love it to pieces. It has such a lovely voice.

Excellent.

Absolutely beautiful playing. Never heard of a tenor guitar before. Now I wish I had sooner. I was moved.

Very nice. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful great player Gina

Splendid

Really Nice! Now I want one of those.

Really great playing, you have a beautiful 'tone' 👍🏻 Great pick of songs / snippets as well. Interesting insight into the "tenor guitar" as sth that wasn't familiar to me - that's why I originally turned to your vid.

I just bought one from the 60's and am learning my first chords. Great video and song, thanks! A few weeks I had never heard of this instrument.

Aloha Braddah Richard! Sounds very ancient....medieval....FANTASTIC! Very artistic playing there Richard! A professional production. Mahalo nui loa for sharing!

I was curious as to what a tenor guitar was like, and what a great intro to one too! Now I know how one should sound! Only remembered you halfway through and it took me back to a most marvelous evening when you, and a young lady with a lovely voice , entertained us in our tiny church in the sleepy Lincolnshire village of Belchford in the days of the rural touring scheme.Enjoyed chatting to you about all things musical in our local hostilary afterwards. Seem to think we had a similar interest in melding electronic and real instruments together.

Lovely melody

Amazing

That was wonderful. This is one of my favourite tenor guitar moments- it is part of something a lot "bigger" and is great. Stick this into the YT search box: After You've Gone (1934) Gene Austin

Absolutely beautiful. I’m speechless. I play a baritone uke and tenor . I think I gotta get a tenor guitar asap. Nice job.

Thanks for the inspiration! Now to look into getting something Stateside to scratch the itch, and with a major manufacturer releasing a tenor later this year, things are looking up. :D

Love the headstock on your guitar, the guitar its self sounds beautiful .🤩👍

Very nice, I cried

Wonderful, thank you! I've just gone and ordered a tenor, I mostly plod along on ukes, bass and and other bits and pieces, but this really appeals. I am sure I will manage to get through a song or two

Good luck! There is a Tenor Guitar course on richarddurrantacademy.com if you are interested. We also meet on Zoom once a month to talk about important stuff like ukes, guitars and banjos...

Well played

Wow! Now I have to make one.

that was lovely! I’m mainly a ukulele player and I have a tenor guitar tuned in Chicago tuning, with a low fourth string. my ukes are mainly soprano size and I have two concert scale ukulele. they are tuned re-entrant in gCEA. I also have a sopranino uke, tuned cFAD. my tenor guitar stands in for a baritone ukulele. the upshot is I can use the same chord shapes on the whole range and all I have to do is remember what key they’re playing in.

Absolutely perfect. Ordered one the other day and planned to tune it like a baritone uke…. Rethinking it after your performance.

Amazing so beautiful
