Hi, friends!
I'm looking for Dixie Chicks's banjo Tab - "Sin Wagon" in original key F (they play it with capo on 3d fret)
Waiting for your help!
Thanks.

After watching the video of them playing live...there really isn't much of a banjo solo there... She trades some generic Scruggs licks back and forth with a fellow who's flatpicking guitar...and then some interaction with the mandolin player...
The chords in F:
(I)-F, (IV)-Bb, (V)-C, (V7)-C7
The guitar player's capo was on the 2nd fret...
Does that mean Emily re-tuned?
Can't always trust the cameras...
I would just turn my amp up REAL loud and play FAST!
No one will know.

On a more serious 'note'...
If Emily's banjo is capoed at the third fret, and they are playing in F, which it did indeed sound like in the video...
Emily would be playing out of an open D position (with the capo at the third fret) which would put her pitch in F.
So, with you're capo at the third fret...you would need chord shapes for:
D(I), G(IV) and A(V)...which would 'sound' F(I), Bb(IV) and C(V) with the capo on.
Hope this helps...
Tom

Thank you for help, banjotom2
How should I tune banjo to learn this tab? Is it open D and what is "open D"?

Janna,
Capo at the 3rd fret...you'll have to adjust the 5th string up 3 frets as well...
So, with you're capo at the third fret...you would need chord shapes for:
D(I), G(IV) and A(V)...which would 'sound' F(I), Bb(IV) and C(V) with the capo on.
You have to think a little differently when using capos...
The function of the 1, 4, 5 chords is the same as G, but because you are capoed now...the shapes are different.
