FAQ
Questions about Jim Kennedy's favorite
Jim Kennedy's favorite is in Em, in C| time. On a GDAE instrument it sits in first position.
Moderate. 91% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 7.
It is a reel, written in C|.
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.
