The oldtime banjo blog from Kiel

Kevin Neidig just sent me an email and included an offer for YOU, my dear reader(s): "   If they order the PDF/mp3 book on my web site they'll get 20% off if they use the code SANDYRIVER20. The code will be good until November 1st." Needless to say that I will not get any financial reward if you use this offer. It´s just a nice gesture from hin - and let´s me hope that I will find one or more duet-partners in the near future. So don´t hesitate and klick on kevinneidig.com/store to order your pdf:

In 2016 I first learned a version of Sandy River Belle in a workshop led by Adam Hurt in Gainsborough. He prefered a special tuning: gEADE (which in fact is Sawmill tuning but the 5th string lowered one note). I liked it a lot but during the next years lost the idea of this tuning and usually played the tune in normal G. Now I came upon a tablature book by Kevin Neidig  which is all about banjo duets (also available on A.). It´s got 20 well known tunes in standard version and in harmony version: I´m pretty sure that Blacky and me will try some of these tunes during our upcoming banjo breakfasts. As Sandy River Belle is included in the book, I gave it a try with headphones and Audacity . Here it is: Sandy River Belle me and myself
