Adapting to the Banjo!

I tried learning the banjo in its standard tuning! It gave me the G tuning,  most common banjo tuning, D B G D G! I tried learning the songs and immediately found it really difficult to follow. It was quite hard to place the notes. So I tuned up to the standard guitar tuning E B G D and G on the neck tuning key. And viola! It was so easy to adapt. Though I cannot play the songs exactly, it’s quite easy to adapt to this.
