Shady Grove - clawhammer banjo tune

Shady Grove! I wanted to find an actual shady grove to film this in but I didn't have the energy so I chilled with Gilligan instead. Its a bit of a mess but I had fun playing it, hopefully yall will have fun listening to it. I stole that fancy variation riff thing from The Chieftain's awesome recording of this song; if you haven't already heard it, go check it out, its insanely good!
Banjo is in G tuning, I think.

    I was a huge Gilligan's Island fan as a kid. I wrote off to Bob Denver's fan club one year, and a month or so later I got an envelope in the mail with an autographed wallet-size picture of Denver (not wearing his Gilligan hat!). I was thrilled of course. There was a little message on the back that said something like "Best wishes, Bob Denver." I felt very honored. I was about 10 years old. Great banjo playing, BTW!

    Bought a banjo in my misspent youth. My picking hand is not smart enough to play banjo. I sold it. Forty-five years and several guitars later, I love hearing this style. A nice modal tune, well done.

    Hi Phoebe, no it's not in standard open G tuning. The tuning is G-Modal also commonly known as G-Sawmill. In open G tuning - the notes from the 5th string to the 1st are G, D, G, B, D. From this tuning, the B string is tuned up 1/2 step and gives the banjo a melancholy sound. Great job, beautiful tune. 😊

    The variation that you did is great. Your version as a whole reminds me of the Tom Paley folk box version and the lyrics that go with the Folk Box version are to my mind the best coz' Shady Grove is the location, not a person, "One arm around the Likker' keg and the other round my dear".... soooo romantic, lol.
