Questions about FAIR HAIRED GIRL
FAIR HAIRED GIRL is in G, in 3/4 time. On a GDAE instrument it sits in first position.
Harder. 94% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 8.
The tune type is not recorded in the source collection.
Yes. Tenor banjo, mandolin and octave mandola are all tuned GDAE, so the tab above is identical for all three. A bouzouki tuned GDAD needs the top string adjusting, which the converter handles.
