The tuning is in Double C (gCGCD), capoed up two frets to Double D (aDADE).

I see the capo on the 2nd fret, but is the banjo tuned to sawmill tuning (gDGCD) or is it open G tuning (gDGBD) or something else?

This song is a story about a young girl piano player who challenges an older fiddler to a duel of speed. You are only playing this at half speed at best. Gittyup girl........

I really like the feeling of you guys doing it, seems so easy, not monotonously perfect rhythm or serious faces.

@PhilFilth I know what you mean but British would include Scottish. It should be calling a Scottish song an English one, or a Manx one, Irish one etc

@PhilFilth The French Canadian people in Ontario, New Brunswick and the other maritimes probably find it insulting that they're all lumped together under Quebecoise >.> That's why French Canadian is used.

Québecoise song, not french canadian. It's like calling a scottish guy a british one. It's insulting lol XD
