C Tuning ramblings - very sloppy as in a rush to gift as a birthday present to my sister- second and third banjos dubbed over to fill in sour notes. I had fun mixing as much as creating this

the sound from this thick and deep rim mahogony banjo is guitar-like (nylon strings). A far cry from Ric Hollander's suberb version of this tune.

I was a big fan of u2 in the 80's, and loved Edge's guitar effects. I recorded this dry and then explored some post recording delay effects with "Audacity" recording software to capture the "unforgettable fire" feel

after a few sound samples of mahogany banjo with nylon strings, these thin steel martin strings have a wonderful sustained ring.

It just sort of fell out of double c tuning although this banjo is home made is tuned way below c. Dedicated to my sister M!
