[@mittboatman6976]

There’s a song about me?

[@veroldaley1]

Fantastic stuff ,is this the same banjo tuning that you use on hills of Mexico

[@lonesomeacestringband]

indeed FDGCD

[@zenosake]

What is John's fiddle tuned to!?!? I'm a derpy beginner that usually plays irish trying to figure out how to do this. Super confused.

[@victorvrankulj8701]

I think I'm responsible for 2000 of the views of this video.

[@johntornese8282]

Anybody able to say what key this is in or what tuning?

[@lonesomeacestringband]

Key of F....banjo is FDGCD, not sure about the fiddle

[@johntornese8282]

Thanks very much I want to play my claw hammer along with this and of course didn’t try the f tuning so thanks again!

[@J.Stuart]

Now my joint-favourite version of this song, along with the Smothers Brothers kzbin.info/www/bejne/an2ol4qgfaiDjLs PS, recently saw the Lonesome Ace Stringband in Scotland. Haste ye back!

[@commentingisdangerous7530]

traditional??? LOL i think not.

[@lonesomeacestringband]

Traditional in the sense that the roots of the tune/song are old enough that the composer is unknown (at least to us). We aren't implying that our playing style is traditional.
