I've been seeing a good amount of GDAD tuning mentioned here and there, much related to irish playing. To those that currently use this tuning, are you using it more for backing rhythm or solo melody playing? I know a very large amount of my melody library of tunes includes the high B (1st string 7th fret), and having the first string tuned down a step from E to D would be more of a reach that it already is getting up to the 9th fret. Curious to know if GDAD tuning is more used for back up rhythm playing or not. Thanks.
