Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
The audio version of a video I just posted. Here's the Description from that: From the Light & Hitch CD, available here: http://www.countysales.com/products.p... I believe this was a *harmony* to the classic Cuckoo '(she's a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies...'), but my only evidence for this was an earlier YouTube video of a rockin' oldtime band (Give Me an Amen Brother) playing this while singing the classic words and melody. But otherwise, I have no information. Maybe someone here knows? The banjo is tuned to 'modal' A (G capoed up). The first part is mostly major, so try to avoid the notes that would give it a minor sound. Note this is easy when playing the D and G chords, since the second string is already in tune.
