Ok I got a bunch of vintage sheet music last week and bypassed alot of stuff that was in the ADF#B tuning cuz I dont feel like I am ready to cloud the mind with different chord names/shapes....its hard enough trying to remember a few 2nd position gCEA. I don't know how you folks do it!!!!!
Some of the songs I got were in that ADF#B tuning cuz I liked the pretty pictures on the cover!!!!
Inside they have the fingering positions but without the chord names, as I am looking at them the shapes look like ones I know, so I pick up a normal tuned (gCEA) uke and start playing and these songs sound ok to me being played that way.
Why is that????
Why does an "F,G7,Dm" shape work on both tunings but sound different.
I tuned one of my Ukes to that Canadian tuning and the songs sound the same just higher. It's nice that the fingerings are there with out the chord names as not to confuse me.
Just an observation.....
