GDAE Tenor or Ukulele accompanying a six string pair?
I play in an acoustic trio and currently fill the melodies role (the other two are superior players running basslines and chord/rhythm). I'd like to diversify our sound and started as a four-string player on ukes and DGBE tenor guitars.
I'm living in a YouTube/internet wormhole of GDAE tenor tuning and I think it could really diversify our sound if I pivoted there, without too much pain in catching up on the theory of fifths tuning. Tuning up a baritone uke to reentrant GCEA is also an option, and that would be a quicker transition.
Would you lean towards one or the other to diversify our sound? The bandmates are lifetime guitar players and don't really have a preference. Their response has been "those notes exist on the guitar but knock yourself out".
