FAQ

Questions about The orange rogue

  • The orange rogue is in Em, in 6/8 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 7.

  • It is a set dance, 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.
