It’s double C tuning, but my banjo is tuned down 1/2 step, with capo at 2nd fret. So to duplicate video, tune to: f# B F# B C# and capo at 2nd fret. There are some places that require a pretty good stretch of fingers on left hand, so capo at 2nd fret makes that easier. But that puts it in the key of D and I don’t like the way a D chord sounds on the Strum Machine backing track, so I tune down a half step. There is a method to my madness! 😊
@@banjogranny9156 Thanks. I was trying to emulate it in standard C, capoed to 2nd fret (playing in D), but it just didn't have that soulful sound. Love this rendition!
I see the algorithm has graced me with some interesting content. Nicely done.
Same
I’m watching so I guess they nailed but this is way out of left field
I agree. Sometimes it does good.
Im from the UK and heard about this song in a Ken Burns documentary.
Its a beautiful song! Also banjos are great
@@RhiRhiCampbell I agree on both points! 😊
That song always makes me cry.
Awesome job B.G. Bravo!

Are you in standard C or double C tuning to hit that low note? What key is this? My ear isn't quite developed enough to pick it up.
