Honestly my favourite tenor guitar performance of all time.

Wow, lovely sound Baron, and of course the playing as impeccable as per usual. Greetings from a Scot in merry old England.

Encore! That was fantastic!

Wow man. I don’t comment on things ever. I was just looking around as a fan of guitar not sure what a tenor sounds like and I really got into that. That was awesome man

Beautiful playing. I wish I had a fraction of this talent

Beautiful tune and playing. A beautiful guitar too.

I just love this! Such a beautiful sound to that tenor guitar and perfectly played. I play this just before I start to polish tunes I'm learning on my mandolin as this performance of yours reminds me that the objective is to play beautiful music not just learn a tune sufficiently to play along in a session. This is inspirational! Thanks so much

The dexterity of musicians amazes me. Fabulous!

Wow, that tenor sounds so full and rich. Awesome playing as well!

I just keep on coming back to this

Geez dude, that was fantastic. So clean. Truly beautiful.

Just wonderful

So beautiful. What a way to start off my morning. Thank you.

Beautiful! Loved this.

This is incredibly soothing and beautiful

never knew there is such awesome thing like a tenor guitar ! nicely played!

Beautiful!

Beautiful.

absolutely gorgeous!

Sounds really good!!

Gosh, I was just listening to a list on tenor guitar while I read some news, and your song just made me stop what I was doing to pay more attention to it. Congratulations, great soft, loving song!

Fantastic!

Beautiful!!

Beautifully played. I want a tenor guitar so bad!

Wow Baron, that is an incredible performance. i am really intrigued by the tenor guitar and how versatile can be in the right hands. Thanks for the performance.

Really beautiful, thanks for sharing!

wow man.. you fill the air with joy!

Baron, this is gorgeous. Beautiful!!

Wow!!!!! So good

Very very nice sounding tenor. Well done

Fabulous sound well played. Now I can fully appreciate the Price Tag, wow!

This is great, Baron! After hearing you play yours on one of your Mandolessons live videos several months back, I went out and got a tenor guitar myself...and I LOVE IT! So different from mandolin, but similar because of the strings tuned in fifths!! Thank you!

Beautiful.....

I bought a tenor guitar largely because of this video. Well played! Thankful I stumbled into your tutorials.

Excellent performance. Thanks!

Great sound...Great playing. Thanks 😊so much.

Beautiful

super cool. thanks for the song and for the Mando lessons!

Bravo Baron. I would like to hear more from you.

Greetings Baron, I have enjoyed your lessons and your beautiful playing and that Tenor Guitar truly has an amazing tone that you bring out of it! I also so appreciate your heart and demeanor I receive peace and comfort just hanging out with you! God‘s blessings on all you do! P.Young West Chester, PA

great tone and very nice to play along with

Sensational playing Baron. Just got my first Tenor Guitar from a great luthier Jack Spira here in Australia. I hope your well.

That Collings is soooo good Baron. God I'd love one but they're like finding hens teeth especially in the UK. Love the playing as always :)

Very nice sound, very pleasing

I've never played a Collings tenor. But i have been playing a GoldTone TG-18 for 10 years. And it seriously sounds and plays better than the Martins and any other tenor Ive ever played. Im putting this out there so if anyone is looking to start playing a acoustic tenor. They can buy 1 instrument that will satisfy them for years to come. But if you can afford a Collings tenor. I would be certain its amazing. I have never played a mediocre Collings mandolin.

Superb.

Excellent

well that was very nice indeed! and i see that slide-horn in the background

THAT is one beautiful sounding tenor guitar! And very well played in what's left of the Celtic DADGAD tuning. What an instrument to take to Irish sessions! But I guess we're talking 3 grand here... since it's a Collings.

Oops, I was thinking 3400 but it's actually 4300 in US dollars. And then we haven't been talking about shipping and taxes yet...

I listened to this and was so impressed by the sound I immediately contacted Collings to find out where I could buy one. They replied quickly and courteously to tell me they are not currently making them. What a shame.

Great job, and very pleasant to listen to. I am on my way to build an hybrid instrument between tenor guitare and an old banjoline a Friend gave me, few Years ago. Thé recording quality IS really great, keep this on.

That’s a fine sounding instrument

That sounds massive.

very nice.

Baron, absolutely beautiful playing! Could you please tell me the model and brand of the tenor guitar? Thank you so much.

Not sure the model but it’s a Collings.

Just lovely. I am a tenor guitar player (primary instrument these days) so it's always great to see more content focused on the instrument. Great sounding guitar and great playing! Thanks a lot.

Yeah, since I injured my hand Im able to play the tenor guitar and baritone uke which is the same tuning as a tenor and about the same size, just nylon strings. I love it!

If you have a standard 6 string you can tune to DGDAAD to play this pretty accurately

So much beautiful dark, open sonority with that tuning and all that mahogany, especially in the slow section! (Kept waiting for the trombone to make it's entrance....... just kidding. )

Hi Baron, beautifully played, as usual. I'm at a loss to know whether to stick with CGDA on my Kala tenor or to change to GDAE like my first instrument, a mandolin. It will of course require a change of strings.

This really is wonderful playing. And the tone is amazing. I have a 23" scale tenor guitar being built and I'm sure I will want to try this string set on it at some point in the future. I saw over on MandolinCafe that you used string gauges of 46 32 22 15 and substitute a 12 for GDAE. Is the A string wound? Is this a stock tenor string set you could point me to - or are you buying singles or using part of a full guitar set? Would love to see more tenor videos by you. Thanks for any info you would care to share.

Very nice :)

Great job, Baron! Kind Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪 😼 Hopeyou get invited on Tune Supply Live sesh one day :)

Nice bass intro! proves 4 strings can stand alone

Wicked!

Is it the strings, tuning, the guitar or the sound pickup that is giving such a nice amount of bass? Beautiful.

Thanks! Perhaps a combination. The low string is a G (3rd fret on standard 6 string guitar), and it's a nicely made instrument, and I used a decent microphone to record it.

i found the answer on another video as well as the tone. Could you do the same with blueridge so we could hear the difference? thanks

Sometimes I get lost in the drone of a note and can forget about the others

Amazing quality of sound,. Mahogany top? What strings do use for this tuning?

Very pretty, Baron. Is there an advantage on playing tunes flatpicking on a tenor guitar vs a 6-strings one? Is it easier to play faster for instance? Cheers, Thomas

A tenor axe. Good job, Baron! You play like the wind. Any chance to see you playing tunes backed by a guitar or a cittern player? Cheers! Sláinte agat.

Hi Baron. Just got a tenor myself. What model is your own and what tuning are you using? Sounds terrific.

Beautiful performances. Could you tell me what tuning you play in? I'm just beginning a foray into the world of tenor guitars.

Great video, and that guitar is stunning! What string brand and gauge do you use for that tuning?

Can you play more of this guitar?

That tune suits the tele well, what's the tuning Baron?

Lovely! Did you write the first song? Can’t wait to hear more! See you at MFC!

It's tuned like an Irish bouzouki.

Hi, what strings are you using? Could you tell me the gauge? Thank you!

lovely! That Collings sounds great. How would you compare to your other tenor(s)? Does it project significantly more, or does it seem about the same in terms of volume? I'm super interested in a new tenor, and am considering the Collings . . .

@mandobaron

Thanks! I've got a couple Martin 0-18T's to compare it to, but nothing else with a mahogany top. I'd say it's not quite as focused and doesn't project as much as my 0-18T's, but makes up for it with a more complex sound. Also there's the fact that the martins are all 50+ years old with lots of play time under their belts.

Do you have notation/tab for this?

very nice why the d and not the e

Lovely! Still have it? If so, want to sell it? ;-) I’d take it.

How did you get this fat tone from a tenor guitar?

Awesome video dude! I really enjoy your phrasing technique. I would be honored to do a type of collab with you some day ). Ping me if you would like to do that. Also, feel free to check out my stuff over on my channel if you want. Liked and subbed! Can't wait to see more. You have got a great technique!

Tray the same, playing tremolo Technik

Fantastic!
