This tuning, GDGCD, often called Sawmill tuning or G Modal tuning, is commonly used when playing "mountain modal" tunes such as The Cuckoo, Greasy Coat, Cluck Old Hen, Shady Grove, and more. Used more prominently by clawhammer players but 3-finger players sometimes break out this tuning as well.
Banjo pickin' ain't a one-size-fits-all kinda world. You've got your Scruggs players, your clawhammer jams, traditional jazz tenor banjoists, Irish style tenor players, and a tuning preference that makes your soul sing. Now you can show it off with our Tuning Tees!
Tuning Tees are for banjo players who understand the magic of open G, the warm, fat sound of Double C, the twang of D tuning, standrd tenor tuning, Irish tuning, Chicago tuning, plectrum tuning, and more! Tuning Tees are a secret handshake for the banjo brotherhood and sisterhood!
