Got a question on reading tab for tenor and playing baritone. When the sheet music tab calls for a C chord on a tenor I would play it the same way on a baritone and call it a G chord. Playing 3rd fret of 1st string, and strings 2, 3, and 4 are played open. Is that correct?

I understand that I will have to know the fingering for many chords on a baritone when transposing because the fingering will be the same on some chords and different on others.

When just playing by myself for myself I think I could just play the notes/chords as written for tenor on my baritone and it would just be in a different key. Is that correct also?
