Gunnin' Down Ghosts, new clawhammer banjo tune on the Dobson Matchless

I took a George Clifton Dobson Matchless Banjo, in standard G tuning, GDGBD and tuned the second string down so that fretted at the 4th it matches the first string. Then just made this up. I thought I'd call it "Gunnin' Down Ghosts".. That's sort of what it sounded like to me..

Great tune! Sounds like an old timey classic. I wouldn't be surprised if 100 years from now, some people will be playing their own versions of this tune and posting them on whatever YouTube has become by then - wirelessly beamed straight into our brains I suppose.

@Rocketscience1971 It's true. I couldn't make the dang thing work at all.  I was playing it wrong for one thing. I spend 25 years trying to learn Scruggs Style. That's what lead me down the wrong path.. haha.
