For enthusiasts of early banjo

Kingdom Coming

Jeff Menzies #253 tackhead tuned dGDGA.
I don't hear this one played as often as I would expect. Could this be because of the non-standard tuning?

Comment by Strumelia on October 21, 2018 at 12:24pm: So where did you find this notation or tab that indicates this tuning, Scott?

Comment by Scott Danneker on October 21, 2018 at 4:42pm: Hmm?

Well.., good question Lisa? Honestly I really don't remember the source, it just kind of worked out that way I guess. That said, I'm reasonably confident that I found it somewhere online because you know my weakness with keys, notation, and "tunnings". Banjo Hangout maybe? Sorry I can't be more precise.

Missed you at APX this year and hope all is well with you.

All the best!

Hope this helps

Comment by Paul Draper on October 22, 2018 at 2:22pm: Scot - give this one a try from the Buckley '68 (high bass): http://minstrelbanjo.ning.com/video/jubilee-1

Comment by Paul Draper on October 22, 2018 at 2:38pm: (Or low bass if you wish, the 4th string 2nd fret is easy to fret...)

Comment by Scott Danneker on October 23, 2018 at 8:16am: Many thanks Paul. I'll take your advice.
