The tenor banjo is tuned seven frets lower (or five frets higher in a different octave) than the fiddle and mandolin—like a viola is. Because the strings are tuned seven frets apart, you can play anything you'd play on the fiddle or mandolin in the same key on the banjo by shifting one string over (toward the thinner strings). Put a capo on the fifth fret, and it plays just like a fiddle/mandolin! Someday we'll have something more polished for this instrument. Thanks for writing. Hello Ed!

Your comment is actually quite timely, as it just reminded me that I should offer a left-handed version of the online workshop as part of my current upgrade to this website's video offerings. So, thank you! And I'm happy to hear you like the bloggy videos too! Hey Fred!

Probably time to change that, though. Thanks for the feedback and for registering! @Paul: Get Started with Jammables was the old title, but they’re basically the same book.

So far, I'm really enjoying the experience. However, I have come across one possible problem. I attempted to register my "Get Started Plus, Core Songs Edition", and it was registered as the Jamnables version. This may be making a mountain out of a molehill, but I thought that you should know. Keep up the good work, on this site and with your teaching. Off topic: Hey, I’m just getting started with the ToneWay method. So far, I’m really enjoying the experience.

Is this something you wrote yourself or is it build on some existing rails cms? Either way, looks great and the content is superb. Really, really nice site.
