Tuning:
I use a four-stringed tenor banjo tuned so that the four strings are
the same notes as the top four strings on the accompanying guitar,
which is in standard tuning with a capo on the 5th fret. This banjo
tuning is a form of "Chicago Tuning". Since the banjo is tuned the
same way as the guitar, feel free to play the part on the top four
strings of a guitar if you don't have a banjo!
Take note of the time signature. The guitar plays in 6/8, but the
banjo plays a syncopated 4/4 over the 6/8. It may take some practice.
The tab below is written in 6/8, so every "-" is a sixteenth note.
