I was wondering if anyone here has experience with dGBE tuning on tenor ("baritone" tuning but with high/re-entrant d).
I'm working with Uke Aerobics and the "Kev" fingerstyle book, which are both voiced for re-entrant tuning. Tenor fits my hands better than concert/soprano, but my main axe is tuned linear GCEA so many of the patterns in the books don't match up well.
I've been thinking about getting a cheapie second tenor with a different tuning. I really like the deeper voice of a low G, and I've been intrigued with dGBE based on a few YouTube vids. That will of course shift the exercises down a fourth, but that's OK. Plus it's something new to play with.
Just wanted to get general impressions, recommended string sets, etc.
