Re: Mandolin to DADGAD
The thought has also occurred to me. I've been playing mandolin on and off for several years now, but I've just never been able to get into guitar. Now that I've been getting more seriously into mandolin (and thinking more about fretted instruments in general), all of a sudden I'm reconsidering picking up guitar again, but this time in alternate tunings.
One thing I've appreciated about learning mandolin from the get-go is how logical all-fifths tuning is. I feel like part of what made learning guitar so difficult for me was standard tuning! Maybe with DADGAD or an open tuning, it'll come more easily.
Guitarists: is there any particular reason to learn standard tuning first?
