Hi guys
After years as a sop-only player, I decided I wanted to explore the size of a tenor and playing with a Low G.
I now have a beautiful walnut Weasley Wharf hand-made tenor. I'm really enjoying the size, scale and volume, but I am already feeling a little 'lost' with the Low G, having only ever previously played re-entrant. It sounds weird not having that higher note at the 'bottom'!
I like fingerstyle and am reasonably competent, having nailed Aaron Klein's book and regularly working through Ukulele Aerobics, but I am really struggling to understand how to adapt finger picking to Low G.
Questions
- Is Low G really 'ukulele?!
- Is it just trying to be a bit 'too guitar'?
- Should I stick with it (I'd quite like to be able to play both)
- If yes, what resources are good for Low G playing/picking?
I know that there is an unbelievable amount of knowledge and expertise on here, so hopefully some of you will be able to guide me...
Take care
Ben
