hi Joe, What tunning are you using on this song? Because the closest i found is gEAC#E with a capo on the first fret. I'm tring to play the chords and figure out how they blend. I'm still wondering where the D and Am chords are placed??

[joeburton77]

@brucelit hi there, tuning is standard banjo tuning DGBD (top four strings) and I have a capo on the 8th i think - i dont ever touch the 5th string

chords are played in this order:

G 0000

D 0230

Am 2210

C 2012

hope that helps, and I think I play it all with my thumb

let me know if you have any more queries

Joe

Is it it just strumming or picking some?

[joeburton77]

@Cowzer09 sort of a combination between picking and strumming really, and I don't use picks, just my fingernails

cheers

this is really great. do you think you could make a tab or maybe a how to video? this is awesome and i really want to learn on my banjo!!

[joeburton77]

@cheddercheesyfunhi, it's

G, D, Am, C repeated

capo wherever it suits plus use a couple of hammer ons with second finger mainly.. fairly straight forward

hope that helps

I got the main thing down, just can't get the picking in between chords right.

[madmonkeyness]

Love it, good job bro.

@joeburton77

Do you use drop thumb on the 5th string or play only with strums and downward picks ?

[Cowzer09]

Do you use picks in your cover or no?
