East Virginia | Lesson & Discussion
Added 2018-12-15 14:24:50 +0000 UTCgDGCD, relative (fCFB♭C, actual) aka "Pretty Polly" or "G Modal" tuning.
Alternate tunings to experiment with:
fFGCD aka "East Virginia" tuning (from George Gibson)
fDGCD aka "F" tuning
In this video I explain one of the ways that I learned to play the early banjo song "East Virginia" from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. I also go into some detail about where Gibson may have picked up his version and some other historical details.
