Hi - new to the forum, so I hope this isn't a super annoying post for everyone.
I play guitar in a punk band, but we've started an acoustic side project. I picked up the banjo about 2 months ago. I can't figure out the theory behind this simple cover song I want to play.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVGjeyCdCxs (Acoustic version of Nothington's In Flames).
The guitar is tuned down 1/2 step. The Banjo Capo is on the 4th fret. One chord he plays on the banjo is all open (So capo on 4th fret- that would be a B, wouldn't it?) I just can't figure out if I am supposed to tune the banjo a 1/2 down too, and then use the capo, or what. Someone who is smart please help an idiot.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I put the link to the youtube video (stripped down in vegas is the live version I'm working off of).
thanks
Paddy
