I did experiments with new tuning.
How to retune:
G string is decreased by three semitone
C string is decreased by three semitone
E string is decreased by two semitones
A string is unchanged
A few basic chords.
And also youtube demonstration.
Why to deal with this tuning:
1. It is universal same as standard tuning g-c-e-a and it is possible to play in all keys.
2. This tuning is suitable for singers with lower voice. In standard tuning you can play easily in C, F and G major. In e-a-d-a tuning you can play well in A, D and E major.
3. This tuning has a new chord voicing than usual. Thus all chords will sound new and cool.
4. Some chord progressions can be touched on ukulele very easily what is advantage mainly for songwriters in writing new songs.
5. Scales in which you can play well (A, D and E major and G and C major partially) are "Guitar friendly". So you can play with guitarists very well.
