Josie-O - Clawhammer Baritone Banjo and Guitar

My good buddy Mike and I have some shows together coming up, so we met up to brush off the ol tunes. Here's Josie-O, which I learned from an Art Stamper recording. Played here in the key of D on account of stringing the banjo up with low classical guitar strings. Tuning is dADF#A. Maybe fiddle players will enjoy playing along to try an old tune in a new way in D?

[@dougmiller9567]

love that sound Benny...I have a deep 12" this would work for...what strings/gauges did you use?

[@BennyBleu]

Strings 1, 3, 4, 5 all come from a D'Addario Folk Black Nylon classical guitar pack. 4=A string, 3=D string, 1=B string tuned to A, 5 = E string tuned to d. The 2nd string is the middle string of an aquila banjo nylon set tuned to F#. So the whole banjo is in open D: dADF#A

What a rad song! What’s the banjo tuned to?

[@BennyBleu]

It's relative to standard G tuning. but tuned down do the D below. So: dADF#A
