ok, quick question:
I want to play a song that suggests a capo on the first fret. I don't own a capo, but couldn't I just tune each string one half step higher from GCEA and achieve the same result as using a capo? Maybe my theory's wrong, I don't know, but before I try it, I'd like to confirm that the tension of the tightened strings wouldn't be too much for the uke. I wouldn't think it is because isn't the alternate ukulele tuning like one whole step up from GCEA? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
