Coda: The banjo is believed to have been popularized among white musicians through blackface minstrelsy, which was performed in the Appalachian region throughout the 19th century. African-American blues, which spread through the region in the early 20th century, brought harmonic (such as the third and seventh blue notes, and sliding tones) and verbal dexterity to Appalachian music, and many early Appalachian musicians recalled being greatly influenced by watching black musicians perform.

Frankie Paradiso

And some more for dessert: One of the most iconic symbols of Appalachian culture— the banjo— was brought to the region by African-American slaves in the 18th century. Black banjo players were performing in Appalachia as early as 1798, when their presence was documented in Knoxville, Tennessee.

What kind of language is that? Wikipedia definition: Appalachian music is the traditional music of the region of Appalachia in the Eastern United States. It is derived from various European and African influences, including English ballads, Irish and Scottish traditional music (especially fiddle music), hymns, and African-American blues.

It looks like standard eadgbe The song is in G and uses the G, D, and C chords. If you are familiar with how these chords look you should be able to spot when he uses them. The verses and chorus use only G and D And the bridge uses G, D, and C You'll get it if you watch and try to play along
