Black and white are well and truely mixed in the history of American music, way way before the modern 20th century fashion of 'the blues'. The banjo itself was an african instrument. Despite the evil enslavement, Africans still put a wealth of influence in there. There are only couple of CDs' worth of African American folk music that originated in the 19th century before the blues, sadly: > 'Black Banjo Songsters of North Carolina & Virginia' > 'Altamont, Black Stringband Music'

you did awesome
great job
It's standard tuning. You have to bar an E double stop on the A and d strings with your index finger.
This sounds like standard tuning, but sometimes this tune is played in EDAE (from low to high).
That low E gives the fiddle such a nice growl
Sorry, I don't know the tuning. I don't think it was mentioned in the footage.
Looks like EDAE but he doesn't seem to play the low string. Same as Glory in the Meeting House
Yep, you sure can!
Wait, is his bow longer?
I don't think so, however he was relatively small man
Would you happen to know the tuning for this?
