This song is played in standard G tuning, capoed at the 2nd fret. The banjo is a Chuck Lee "Glen Rose".

  • Hi, great playing! I'm trying to learn this - possibly a stupid question, in which case I apologise in advance, but it seems you've capoed at 2 but tuned strings 1-4 down 2 tones, so that in effect the banjo is just tuned to open G as normal. Is there any advantage in doing so? Just making fingering easier?

  • @Gallywomack I'm tuned in standard G tuning capoed at 2nd fret. This makes the song in the key of A. I try to learn most tunes in A or D as these are common keys for fiddlers.

  • LOVE this version - are their tabs available for this?

  • Thanks for the comment damiancasey. I didn't use tab for this. It's pretty simple to play, though, I'm sure you can learn it by watching the video a few times.

    Thanks again, Jeff

  • hello. I love this video.

  • Thank-you for the comment mei523. Sally Ann is the name of a girl, and she is the object of someones affection. Here are some of the words:

    O where are you going Sally Anne (x3)

    I'm going to the wedding, Sally Anne.

    ***

    O shake that little foot, Sally Anne (x3)

    You're a pretty good dancer, Sally Anne.

see all

  • @josborne26 Thanks! Sorry, I was being stoopid, for some reason my banjo was tuned a tone high so I've been playing in A for ages anyway without realising it. On the plus side, I've found it plays easier capoed at 2 (has lowered the action a bit) so I might just keep it there...

  • Very GOOD! My compliments to anyone that can make use of the 5th string as it has always seemed to just be in the way to me.

    Again, very good.

  • Solid and clear as usual. Your videos are a joy to learn tunes from. Thanks.

  • very nicely done!

  • Fantastic!

  • Nicely done -- very crisp and clean!

  • Nice and clean! Great job!
