Hello All-
I've been thoroughly enjoying learning to play Old-Time Banjo. I didn't realize how many different tunings are commonly used. I've mostly been playing in Sawmill and Double-C tunings- and very little in standard Open G.
Perhaps someone here who plays both guitar and banjo can offer some guidance to this awkwardly worded question. Are there any correlations between playing guitar in certain positions and the banjo tunings that are best used to play the same tunes?
I know so many more songs on guitar and was wondering how difficult it would be to dabble in translating ideas to banjo.
Thanks.
Mike
