Thread Name: 5 String Banjo - with high G on opposite side?
Subject: RE: 5 String Banjo - with high G on opposite side?
GSS - with the short 5th string moved to the other side, this would give the tuning DGBDg
The intervals are the same as ADF#Ad
Which is essentially the same as open D on a guitar (D)ADF#Ad
Before committing to a converted left-hand 5 string, why not tune your guitar to open D and try the approach you've described on it - might at least see whether you like it or not? You could always take the first string off if it's getting in the way to give 5 strings...
