Learning my first Irish melody, "My Love is in America" on my tenor banjo. Thank you for the great rendition of this tune.

@@davidlaliberte3759 so standard? if so just say that

[@davidlaliberte3759]

The only standard in Irish music is there isn’t one

@@davidlaliberte3759 you're being condescending. standard tuning is what everyone across the world uses. hence the name standard. this isnt a cross tuning or anything other than G D A E.

Although we learn different ways one is none other than self discovery. Many facets of life can adapted to this methodology including humor but the point is, long story short this tune for example’s can be found in Tunepal or page 24 of the second foinn seisuin book. Learn the tune, then watch Fergal. There you will find your answer grasshopper. When it comes to tuning I think back to when I was learning jazz tunes out of the “Fake Book” at Berklee in the late 70’s it don’t mean a thing if aint got that swing.
