    @connwoolridge2077 4 года назад +2

    For all those confidently saying this is GDAE tuning......it's not! He's in CGDA here. No capo, no half steps, just CGDA (yes, standard Irish tuning IS GDAE but he's not using it)
    Long time banjo player/teacher so trust me, it's CGDA
    Cheers

    • @RickRiman

    yes, also they are usually 4 string instead of 5, and the tuning is generally GDAE, which is the same as the mandolin and fiddle.

    • @ised-5239
      @ised-5239 4 года назад +1

      GDAE but one octave lower than mandolin/fiddle.

    Of course, Gerry is marvelous.
    But I can't help listening to the guitar player. First of all, he is one of very few Irish session guitar players I have noticed who plays in standard tuning. He really makes those bass line stand out. Very chromatic at times, almost (dare I say it?) - bluegrassy!

    • @zuluder866

    • @fiddlejohn9305
      @fiddlejohn9305 Год назад +2

      And Gerry’s playing can show some bluegrass influence. Just listen to that last time through that last tune, and that last closing lick. Love it. I’d like to see him live with WeBanjo3.

    I believe Gerry sometimes uses GDAE but I think he usually uses jazz standard tuning (CGDA) Capod up to the second fret, so DAEB.

      So if CGDA the fingering and fretting can be adaptable to mandola and tenor guitar and mandocello (but sounds one octave lower for the mandocello).
