The closest I'll get to rocking out on the banjo.

The other day I learned a new tuning. (gCGCF) I'm gonna call it the Devil's tuning. Sure as sin, it tastes sweet like the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. But if you're not careful, it'll bite you back with strings all snappin' in your face 'n' shit!

What makes it so sexy is dropping that 4th string to a deep sounding C. But at the same time you're winding up the 1st and 2nd string up into dangerous territory. I've never heard such a wide range of sound from one banjo. I was all smug with my low-gauge strings thinkin' I was clear and free. Nope. Snapped just as I started to lower it again.

But not before I squeaked out this little tune.
