Buckley tune from my corner of the world. Played on a Carver Banjos gourdie.

This is tuned to E ("true" minstrel tuning, no thanks to Briggs lol)...afterwards, I changed the the bridge and get a bit better sound, plus I like the string spacing better. The string height throws me off just a bit. I end up playing with my cuticle instead of the nail...who knows, I may post an "improved" version at some point.

It's just a fun tune!!!...plus it makes me work on those triplets, which are somewhere between a stroke and a strum. Sometimes I hit it just right. Gotta build the consistency...
