I just learned "All Apologies" on my banjo. I can't keep the women off me now. Serious.

The chickens are getting larger.

The chicken coop is almost done.

Swisher Sweet Tip Cigarillos are tasty.

Hot new roommate moved in.

Blanche is running tip top.

Brooke wants to eat Lola.

Jesus is staying in my living room, reading novels about the old world high seas.

I nearly broke my nose falling up the stairs drunk.

Black bees do sting.

That is all.

I want to know the chords to that Deadman's Flying Troupe Band Hawaiian sounding song.

The first chord is a plain A.

The next two are D6 and E6. It's a basic I-IV-V progression, but the IV and the V are sixths, which gives it the bright sound.

I play the D6 as 0-0-7-7-7-7 and the E6 as 0-0-9-9-9-9. I mentioned that because if you looked up E6 and D6 up in a chord book and played them like it said, what resulted would sound little like what I played.

Also there's the bridge part where I play A and the relative minor of A (Gb minor) over a few times. I play it like 0-0-4-2-2-2.

If you play those two parts together with some variation you should get the general feel and style of the song. It was never really concretely put together, and I play it different every time I play it any way. Sometimes I like to chromatic it up by sliding through a D#6 (0-0-8-8-8-8) in between D6 and E6 for just a single note while I'm playing it, which makes it sound jazzier.

What's your style? Are you any good. And btw, this thread is about the banjo.

I have a banjo. Since I've started playing banjo, I've also been experimenting with open tunings on the guitar. Mostly I've been using the open E - and that's E, G#,B, E, G#, B. Not the normal E tuning. It's a very even tuning, with two of each note, unlike the normal E tuning which is a power chord with a major chord attached on the end.
 
Open G is easiest. 1ust tune the two E's to D and the A down to G. Octave tuning, real easy. Then you can fuck around with simple platforms that are relatively universal around the neck. And if you're trying to impress a broad, you can look like a genius while your dirty little secret is that you really suck. It worked for me at 20.

That is really the sort of power chord attached to a major chord tuning I was talking about. I really prefer my open E. I know what I'm doing. O_O
