    Hi all,

    I am in love with the fifths tuning of the mandolin, but I also want to learn how to play in fourths. (I retuned my Octave Mandolin as D-G-C-F.))

    Does anybody have any advice regarding how I can retrain my left hand to think in fourths?

    What about FFcP? Would such an idea work in fourths tuning?

    Thanks!
