Very cool  , great listen! just curious, did you record the vocals and banjo at the same time or are they separate tracks? All in all a great track!

aaron,
Yes this was a single track, one time shot. I used two mic's though. One for the banjo and one for the vocals.
Thanks folks.

I really enjoyed that. Banjo's have a cool sound. I thought your vocal was really good . too.
Banjo's are tuned quite differently to a guitar, yes? What about a guitjo?
Classically played Jazz

Dugal,
Standard tuning for a banjo is gDGBD. This tune, Shady Grove was tuned in G Modal i.e., gDGCD. I 've read about the guitjo's but have never played one.
Thanks for listening.
