@hulahoopz88 cheers I'll stick to the basics first

[IrishDeadmau5]

What tuning is it in? Mine is GDAE?

[thebiggerbopper]

The tuning was D G B E, like a guitar

My dad started learning the banjo just to learn this song! I'm from Ireland and his name was Dave too. He passed away in October and I'm trying to take up the banjo and learn this song! I'm 16 and have my dads 4-string Irish tenor and I'm trying my best to learn this song! Is it tough?

@IrishDeadmau5

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I know how tough it is, I lost my Dad last Sept. Keep on practicing the Banjo, it'll come.

[hulahoopz88]

@IrishDeadmau5 keep practicing lad, it takes patience..espicially as this is prob one of the hardest songs to play on banjo but keep at it,pick easy songs first and you will find urself getting better....sorry to hear bout ur father

That's great. What tuning are you using? I've just started to learn Irish Tenor banjo. Do you have a Tab?

@sparkys6887

Thanks Sparky, but as I mentioned I don't play Banjo. A friend gave me that banjo and I figured I'd try to play it. As you know, there's different ways to tune a Banjo. I tried them all and couldn't figure out how to play a freaking thing on it. LOL So I cheated, I tuned it like the first 4 strings on a guitar, Haha The song it's self isn't quite right either but it's as close as I could come. Also, after I recorded this song I found out that I didn't have the bridge set right.

You did a great job Dave, I enjoyed this.
