This is the most straightforward lesson I've seen for Soldiers Joy. Thank you for not making me capo up and stick a railroad spike in my antique Fairbanks Vega to get to double D! Is that a Gold Tone CCOT you're playing?
Thanks! And yes, it’s a CC-OT. Got a custom Pisgah Rambler I ordered last year that should be done any day now. The OT has been a loyal banjo, but it’s at the end of its rope. Hundreds of gigs, 1000s of miles traveled, countless recordings, daily playing for well over a decade. Needless to say-I got my money’s worth from it!
I dont know, Im thrown off when youre saying for the bum diddy youre striking the B? Are you accidentally referring to open G tuning? Cause it sure seems like the C string, second string up to me. Or are you speaking of notes? I guess Im just used to tabs referring to string # so the chords don't muddy the water. I like your arrangement cause I dont want to spike my banjo. Just a few spots Im not clear on.
I’m likely just referring to the 2nd string. At some point during my lessons I started calling them by the numbers instead of notes because I occasionally do lessons capoed to the key the song is commonly played in. The tuning for this lesson should be: gCGCD
@trentporter5419 ok thanks, after watching it several times, I began to think, when you said B string, that it was a misspeak, but still wondered if I was missing something. I've got the song down and I'm just working on speed through the transitions now. Thanks again for a way to play Soldiers Joy without capoing and spiking and and and... It sounds good, and double C is simple enough to tune very quickly from open G.
Congratulations, you can play better than a beginner.
I’m getting there
