  • I learned to play the Coo-coo fairly early on in my banjo playing, maybe 45 years ago or so, loosely based on Clarence Ashley's classic version from the 1920s. Over time I've reorganized the verses, added verses, and revised most of them to suit me. More recently, in the last few years, I've experimented in using different tunings to develop a version more distinctly my own. This seems to be my definitive personal version -- at least for now -- few things I do ever really get locked in to any single version forever. There's always a new idea just over the horizon.
    This song is usually played, as Clarence Ashley did, in "sawmill" tuning (gDGCD). This version uses "double C" tuning (gCGCD).

    I’ve come to the conclusion that this man makes no mistakes…truly envious skills.

      Thanks very much! (Actually, I say she has no “nest” of her own - which is true of coo-coos, they lay their eggs in other bird’s nests, to be fed and raised by them!)

      One of my absolute favorite songs. I play it in G modal, but need to try this out, too.
