1) And most of the new fingerings you'll learn will be easier, especially where guitar tunings are concerned... I suspect that the same is true for fiddle or the alt. tunings wouldn't be used...

2) Ask Garnet Rogers about owning multiple instruments for multiple tunings... you say it like it's a bad thing... And you say 'patter' like it's a bad word too...

3)This one I don't get at all... if I'm playing a song in G, what does it matter what tuning I'm playing it in... the key of G is always the same notes... changing the tuning might change some of the structure of the chords, but the notes will be there...

Can you try to explain #3 better to me?? I'm trying to get a handle on it...
