I started on a baritone. Are baritone skills transferrable to tenor without a lot of work? Not that I am averse to work - rather I am just an amateur and I wonder if it would be a mistake to get a tenor - just because I would be overloading my brain. If I did get a tenor - and I strung it to low G, would that make learning to play it more difficult as online lessons are (I am guessing) aimed at standard tuning with high G.
In other words - which is the best tuning - in terms of learning to play?
Or is the challenge the same, no matter which tuning? I am 70 years old. I play with a local group at our public library. We play songs with only a few common chords - but we have a lot of fun doing it. Should I just stick with my baritone DGBE and forgot all the other choices?
I am kind of drawn to getting a tenor - simply because there seems to be more support for standard tuning.
