bomb.Do any of you enjoy working out gospel tunes in open D. Lately I have been giving this a go.
I have always enjoyed playing in D, I usually tune the high string in F#. I'm not going for speed, the highest tempo I will use is around 117, some as low as 87 bpm. I have long held the notion a banjo can have a beautiful sound and doesnt have to be played 200 bpm to be an effective instrument.
I have lately been playing "In the Sweet, Bye and Bye", which works itself out very well in D.
So I was just wondering if anyone else enjoys this.

I play "Give Me Your Hand" in D tuning, or open D, whichever is quicker at the time. I love D-tuning.
