Call of Freedom - Original Tenor Guitar Song by Scott James Watson

Описание: A new original on the new Songbird Grande from ‪@CravenTenorGuitars‬.

Edit: Just noticed that this is my 75th upload to the channel as well. Wasn't intended that way, but nice that it was an original song to mark the 'occasion'.

This was an attempt to work through the lingering questions I have had long after the fighting ended: did we deliver freedom? what was the cost? was it worth it?

The name, Call of Freedom, is a subtle play on Operation Enduring Freedom. I wanted it to act as an anchor that symbolised the ideals being fought for and the devastating cost of pursuing them. The complexities and contradictions of war.

❓What is a tenor guitar?
A tenor guitar is a 4-string guitar that is typically tuned in fifths, similar to a tenor banjo or mandola. Originally designed in the 1920s for tenor banjo players transitioning to guitar, it offers a unique sound that bridges the gap between traditional six-string acoustic guitar and smaller stringed instruments like the mandolin.

❓How is a tenor guitar tuned?
In this video I have mine tuned GDAD, which some people refer to as Irish Bouzouki tuning.
