I know, I know... search first. Tried that and came up with zero!
So... what are the benefits of low G vs high G tuning for my new Lanikai Tenor?
I know that people say that high G "sounds more like a uke", but I can't see any other advantages, especially since I already play guitar. I keep looking for a note on that "low" string, only to find it playing an octave higher.
OTOH-- I think Jake Shimabukuru plays with a high G, and it doesn't seem to bother him any. We saw him a coupla weeks ago and were totally blown away.
