Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

A very quick and dirty rendition of Camptown Hornpipe, loosely based off the tablature in Briggs' Banjo Method and from watching an assortment of random other reenactors play it. This is with two days of practice.

Also, this isn't my room, or even my house. Pay no attention to the bedspread, it's not mine...

Hey Max, this is just great!  Love it.  Welcome to the gang here.

P.S. I still think it's your bedspread.

Nice sound.  Bedspread?  Didn't even notice until you mentioned it.  What's wrong with it?

what is the tuning of each string top to bottom? sounds great. I see alot of people using different tunings and playing it different all up to speed.

Ahoy, Mister Jason! I can't for the life of me remember what tuning I had this in at the time. I believe it was standard minstrel D, knocked down several steps or so. I had just put the strings on and wanted to bring them up gradually. Haha!

He's playing it in key of F-  tuned one step below the usual Briggs dGDF#A (key of G)...

so I believe he's tuned cFCEG and playing it in key of F.
