Not that I can play it in either, but where should I start?

Glenn,
Either tuning...Its just as easy on either tuning....Play it on the one you know best and then find the same ideas on the other....Both tunings are universal as to what can be played on their strings....I view the D10 as one complete tuning.

Thanks Paul. I was working on your lessons tonight (hey everyone, they're great, really!). I skipped ahead to the C6th part (being careful to not mark it as complete), then got all full of myself, and decided to tackle that Irish tune for a band I'm in Chicago. The changes are easy, and I usually just play them on E9, but it would be cool if I could double the melody with our fiddle and mandolin. I tried and I found it to be equally difficult on either neck, which is why I asked the question. Thank you for your input: "just as easy" in your world is equivalent to "equally difficult" in mine. I'll get it.

We're used to hearing a 12-string uni referred to sometimes as "one big tuning" but to hear Paul refer to the D10 that way really is food for thought!
(I'm still at the stage of thinking of the uni as two separate tunings superimposed  )

I'm not sure I have any business disagreeing with Paul Franklin, but I simply do not see a D10 as one complete tuning.
To my mind, one complete tuning would be Joe Wright's idea of 'one big tuning' - one neck.
Are there other instruments (at least string instruments) that require multiple tunings to be considered complete? I always thought pedal steel guitars eliminated the need for extra necks.
I'm not trying to be a wise guy, I just don't get it. I do agree that both tunings are universal, at least to an extent.
Paul, would you be so kind as to elaborate for me?

| Here’s another angle , if you had to decide of either E9 or C6 , which would you choose for all genre of music. I know , surprisingly , Buddy Emmons once said E9 and I believe when he experimented with an extended E9 he did not continue down that path. It would be interesting to hear Paul’s choice. |
