FAQ

Questions about The Morning of Life

  • The Morning of Life is in D, in C time. On a GDAE instrument it sits in first position.

  • Easy. 98% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 6.

  • 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.
