What Is Irish Tenor Banjo? There's a lot of misinformation regarding Irish tenor banjo so I thought I'd add to that by offering my own take on this subject. First of all, one has to assume that the term Irish Tenor Banjo is a real thing. For the purposes of this post, I am willing to say that it is. In a blanket statement, Irish Tenor Banjo is the playing of Irish traditional tunes using a 4-string, 19-fret, resonator banjo tuned GDAE, with a pick/plectrum.
