FAQ
Questions about Scotch Mary
Scotch Mary is in Ador, in C| time. On a GDAE instrument it sits in first position.
Easy. 97% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 6.
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.
