i've been a guitarist for, oh, 40 years. since starting the mandolin and fiddle a few years ago, guitar is less and less of an interest to me.
since it's in fifths, i'm considering a tenor guitar.
my situation doesn't allow, well lets just say money is extremely tight and i'd have to sell my guitar to get the tenor. it's a really nice guild.
but, then i thought about tuning it in fifths and found out that a lot of people do that and call it 'new standard tuning' cgdaeb.
my question is, has anyone done this? does it work well? (ok, that was two questions) changing strings to gauges that would handle that is inexpensive. should i give that tuning a try, or just get a tenor and sell this one? (yes, another question)
thank you in advance,
jim
