How to play "Farewell to Ireland" on Tenor Banjo

[Glaurung000]

Man, please, play in front of the camera next time. :P You are the only one that show how to play that tune like the Dubliners. I've search all over the internet and there is not a single score for that version. But thanks anyway, i'm learning it slowly, it's painful, but i'm learning it.

Unless he's using an odd tuning, it's EADG

@skerins42 Why woud he tune it like a guitar? He's playing an Irish Tenor Banjo so the standard tuning on that would be (from lowest to highest) cdga, the same tuning as a viola. BUT since he's playing a version based on Barneys inerpretation, its probably using the same tuning Barney used, which was (lowest to highest) Gdae. Long live McKenna

thanks mate ... i'm a guitar player expanding his range by learning some tunes to flatpick ... I dont read music so picking up session standards is a lot easier with the help of folk like your self

much appreciated

What is the tuning? Is there a standard tenor banjo tuning and if so is this it?

[legacyabq]

Fan-phreakin'-tastic mate Could ou please tell me the tunings of the strings starting from the bottom. Is it standard tenor bano tuning, if there is such a thing? I like the nuances you do the little flat notes, just like Barney Beautiful song, all it needs is a little guitar accompaniment.. Thats what I play, but Ive been thinking of getting a banjo cuz they sound so....goddamned great.. Thanks for this video man, really appreciate it!

[NiffNozzletoff]

do you have tabs for this?

[arsonic11]

No. I don't have any. Sorry.

[DESBERRY]

Thanks I'm only a couple of months into learning. This video

helps a lot with left hand fingering techniques. Learning feels a bit slow at the moment but I'll get there.
