Well here's another tune of mine I recorded on "5 Strings Attached Volume 2". For you clawhammer players what is interesting about it -is that it is played in the key of G, but not in the standard G tuning most popular. To get into this particular tuning first get into a standard type double c tuning ( g CGCD ) , then put a capo on the 2nd fret and tune the 3rd string down to match the g of the 5th string. So now you get gDGDE. This is a terrific tuning for fiddle  tunes in G that may have E or Em chords within the tune and has a beautiful sound.

Here I am playing it on my Jason Romero banjo.

Arnie, Love that sound. BTW what's the specs on the banjo you're playing in this tune?

Hey there Strings Attached - who are you? It's a Romero 12" skin head with his Romero tonering- walnut neck. Arnie

Thought it didn't look like a Maple Ridge. Those Romero's are really something special (and so is your playing). I really enjoy your clips. Thanks
