In a moment of madness I ripped the high G string off my Indonesian made Sono and Rosewood Tenor Uke and replaced it with the D (fourth) string off of an old classical guitar I have that never gets played because the a couple of the tuning pegs are stripped and broken.
It sounds great, I like it, really nice and low, trouble is, my old guitar chords work on it and most of my uke strumming stuff works but I have gotten so used to using that high G as part of my Uke fingerpicking and melody style that I am completely lost now with the low G in place.
I suppose I have to start learning some new stuff that is just for a low G set up Uke, it's all very confusing but I love a challenge and i like the sound. I also feel like I should have at least one low G uke kicking around just in case someone turns up who likes to play one.
Any suggestions as to how I begin to get my head around this mind warp.
