Got my first ever mandolin today and have some questions:
I will probably be playing blues on it mainly, but would like to do an occasional jazz classic as well.
Hence my wonder whether or not I should go for
- standard tuning or
- open G? or
- both, by re-tuning?
side info - I can read music and am a harmonica player originally.
The only blues players I know are the late Johnny Young and the late Yank Rachel (saw him live once...)
