Questions about Larry O'Gaff
Larry O'Gaff is in G, in 6/8 time. On a GDAE instrument it sits in first position.
Moderate. 95% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 8.
It is a jig, written in 6/8.
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.
