I keep reading about the advantages of 5ths tunings vs 4ths, but could someone elaborate - not on the technical aspects, but on the ease of play, beauty, etc.? It seems that fiddle and Celtic type tunings are usually in fifths (?), whereas GDBE and open tunings based on guitar and five-string banjo are in fourths.
As background, I am new to playing a tenor guitar in DGBE and a few close variants, coming from a banjo background.
Thanks!
