Hey guys,
total beginner here. A few weeks ago my brother gave me his old baritone ukulele (a cheap one (Kmise) from amazon) that was tuned in High-G CEA from the beginning.
So far I'm loving the ukulele and I'm actually making progress (always wanted to play guitar but I'm a total musical failure and did not have enough discipline). I started learning the C-G-Am-F chord progression and different strumming patterns to play some basic beginner songs like I'm Yours (Jason Mraz).
My brother also gave me a set of baritone DGBE strings (Martin) that he bought but never actually opened. If I want a little "fuller" sound for my ukulele, could I just use the G string of this set to tune my ukulele Low-G CEA?
I did not want to make the switch from High-GCEA to DGBE because I started to like that typical ukulele sound, but I wonder if Low-GCEA would be a nice middle ground between not losing that typical sound but still getting a bit richer sound?
I read about the low g tuning in terms of fingerpicking to get more range. But if I'm not yet interested in fingerpicking and just stupidly want to strum my C-G-Am-F "I'm yours"-kinda songs, do you think that would work or sound weird?
Cheers and sorry if this is a dumb question
