D g b d is my favorite it has easy chords in all positions an a major and minor barres that do not require sobriety.

I had actually meant to say EBGD. Like a guitar minus two base strings. Isn't the tuning you are talking about basically a banjo tuning?

Yep do you how to tell if a bluegrass stage is level.

The banjo player drools out of both sides of his mouth.

We have some bluegrass up here (Ohio) but it is rather more popular in Kentucky (big surprise, I'm sure...). I enjoy it in small doses. I hate new country with considerable enthusiasm. Every time I pick up a banjo (something that doesn't happen often) I think to myself -- "This thing would make a pretty decent murder weapon, but I'd like a little more sustain to cover up my lack of dexterity." My stepdaughter wants one, but I don't think she'd be strong enough to lift it.

Ever see one of these?

I'm selling mine.
