A guy that plays solo guitar asked another fellow and I to be part of a band. I play bass the other guy plays fiddle, banjo, mando & guitar. The solo guy tunes down a half step.Me and the other guy conspired to make him tune back up.Playing fiddle in flat keys is difficult for him. You tend to lose your open strings. Same for me.I can play in flatted keys but when the song is written around a standard key issue arise.BTW I HATE the sound and feel of my bass tuned down so that's not an option.The fiddle player had to quit so now I'm back faced with the solo guy tuning back down.
I know some of the obvious options but was looking for opinions that may be outside the box.
Thanks.
