Interesting in that it sounds nothing like how I have always heard it played.

where can I get a copy of this in tabs to learn how to play.

I dunno if anybody has tabbed it out here but the green book is on Tim's site: http://timtwiss.com/uploads/3/4/8/4/3484716/converse_1865_green_2.pdf

look forward to seeing it.  I was able to pick up a little of it just watching you play it.

Wonderful idea, that would work for me.

If you check the first few pages of yellow converse book there is a diagram of the fret board and notes that work as a Rosetta Stone for transcribing to tab. I think that is good for three or four sharps which should cover lots of stuff in green book. I still haven't fully dove into the green book yet

I have the Early Minstrel banjo book, which also has a fret board diagram, thanks for all the help. 

I will see what happens.

is your banjo tuned d / G / D / F# / A  ?

Comment by Chris Prieto on April 25, 2016 at 6:52pm

I think it might be but might be wrong haha. That's why I mentioned the one in the yellow book because it corresponds with the tuning used in the green book. I usually transcribe in the higher Rice tuning and play in Briggs tuning once I got it down pat. Tim necromanced a post with a Rosetta Stone as well which may be helpful not sure if the same one that's in his book tho.
