I'm finding it next to impossible, or at least very uncomfortable, to play some tunes in G, sawmill, and double C. For example, "Chilly Winds". I'm not a "up and down the neck" kind of guy, so I'm wondering if it's advisable to learn a few more tunings. If so, do you have any suggestions? I use to play in open D sometimes, but I actually played only one or two songs in that tuning, so I kicked the open D habit. I guess what I'm really wondering is if it's worthwhile to learn a new tuniing, and re-tune, just for one-off songs. While I'm at it, do you have any suggestions for "Chilly Winds"? Isn't there anything like a one-size-fits-all tuning, like standard tuning for the guitar, without scrambling all over the banjo's neck?
