Abigail Washburn - City of Refuge

[@TonyfromBham]

Abigail Washburn & Miles Davis are, in my opinion, the two artists who have shown the highest levels of artistic creativity in the area of modal music.

AMAZING! One of the best contemporary banjo players: Excellent technique supporting the song. Not the other way round.

[@eelnai2503]

Goddamn

[@guitarplayr4]

What’s the tuning on that banjer? I see capo on 3rd

[@christopherjohnson4935]

Standard GDGBD.. With the capo it would be the key of B flat right?

[@christopherjohnson4935]

I have to correct myself. The song can be played in standard tuning but she's using D tuning (Graveyard, hop-high) etc. But probably a slight variation. The normal D tuning starting with the 5th string is F#DF#AD. She's using a capo on the 3rd fret and I have to believe she tuned her 5th to A, which gives a real boost to the number of drone notes. This song just never gets old imho.

[@christopherjohnson4935]

No, the 5th string is in fact F but A does work. So the tuning is fDF#AD. My work is done here, finally. 3rd time's a charm. ;-)

[@runrig97]

@@christopherjohnson4935 so the capo puts it up to fFACF

[@christopherjohnson4935]

With the capo on the 3rd fret, the 5th string would go up to A or you could also tune it to C.

[@Scott.Jones608]

What tuning is that with a capo on the 3rd fret?

[@eelnai2503]

Pretty sure it's just standard g tuning but up three frets

[@runrig97]

fDF# AD capo 3 (but not 5th string) to fFACF
