Its actually fDGCD, also known as "Cumberland Gap tuning". My understanding is that this is the tuning Riley Baugus uses for this song. I noodled it out from Huston West's version on UA-cam here. I think he's got the beat version of the song out there.
@@dustyoldbanjo Ah, yeah, drop the drone a step from sawmill. I come to reckon that tuning as sawmill since so many modal songs work in that tuning, but it does change the emotion to something more... like... optimistic.
Thank you! It's a custom build. The banjo is a Brian Carver travel banjo, but I built my own octagon rim for it. Then my wife decorated the head with some press on prints. Not as fancy as it looks, but I do love it, and it goes with me everywhere.
This is so good, i can not stop listening!
Incredible!
Huh. This song does sound pretty good out of sawmill. I been playing it in standard all these years. Gonna try this out.

Your Banjo is beautiful! Anywhere I can find a piece like that?

@@dustyoldbanjo it is fancy, sounds like a dream!
amazing !
Very nice! Who painted your banjo?
Thank you! My wife decorated it with art transfers. It was all her idea, and I think it turned out great
@@dustyoldbanjo Was it a surprise?
No, she suggested it and I told her to go for it. She actually just did a new one a couple days ago, which I hope to play on the channel soon.
