[Eb]
[Gm]
[Eb]
That's Diamond Joe from Vagrant Stanzas and that tuning [F] is called double C tuning.
[Eb] So it's G, C, G, [F] C, D.
It's exactly the same as the guitar tuning that I use on Fair Annie.
And the other tuning that I use on the banjo is [Fm] a G tuning.
So the difference is, just that bottom [F] string goes from down to C, up to D.
So [Bbm] it's now G, D, G, [Bb] C, D.
So this is called sawmill tuning, or G suspended fourth tuning.
This is a really common old timey banjo tuning.
Sometimes it gets called mountain miner, which it [Ab] patently obviously [Bbm] isn't.
