I will be playing out for the first time this Thursday and I was told that because of the singer, all of the songs have to be played in the Key of “D”. It takes me for ever to get my fingers into the “D” cord shape and I haven’t ever been able to play a full “D” cord without muting the 3rd string. With a Capo and your instructions I can do the key of “D” with no trouble. Thanks again.

Most parts of video are of sad situations and one verse that stands out is ” I play a banjo, I play a banjo, I play a banjo”. Any insight to who sings it and the name of it. Any help will b greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It’s the most famous banjo song of all time. Steve Martin has a bit about it and may others have played it on TV and movies.
