Shaving a Dead Man - Clawhammer Banjo

I would really like a tab for this tune if anyone has one . This simple by ear version is in double c and I know this tune is usually played in another tuning so any help would be welcome.

Whoa now ! I can bash out a tune but...........!!

Glad you enjoyed my vids though, thanks !

Hey Tom - that's a great version, regardless of tuning. I play it in 'Dead Man's' tuning (g#BEBE) - which really helps with those left hand pull-offs. I looked for tabs but never did find any. Ended up getting it by ear from some fine versions at the banjohangout. See the vid on my channel if you're interested in the result!

I have seen yours already and I've got to say I think its one of the best I've seen ! Sounds great, especially on the fretless. I shall tune up and do a lot of re-playing of your version !

Good relaxed playing, Tom - I enjoyed that

@james15668 Many thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it.

Sounds to me like you don't need any TAB.

Thats the tuning I couldn't remember. Thanks.

Nicely played in the Dub tuning. I usually play this out of G tuning, but its not really the same song at that point I dont think.

I think Frank Lee (of the Freight Hoppers) has a version with tab on his Homespun lesson,
