I used to be a mediocre to half decent guitarist in my teens and early 20s (started with rock then blues and jazz).
30 years later, aging disgracefully and with not too many brain cells left, I want to get back to playing guitar but I have also been bitten by the tenor guitar/banjo bug.
My goal is to finish what I started but not completed ages ago: play unaccompanied jazz, in other words chord melody and whatever comes along.
Has anybody here gone this route? I expect most of you went from mandolin to tenor guitar. But what about going from guitar to an instrument tuned in 5ths?
What is the learning curve? What can you bring from 6 string guitar and what do you have to unlearn?
(And no, Chicago tuning won't do for me. If I have to play Chicago tuning, I'd rather play standard guitar.)
Thanks.
