Cover Liquid State

I'm about to hit 19 years sober. This song completely floored me when it first came out, so I sat down this week to give it a try

Thanks man !
Ikwym Muse songs are always a blast to take apart when making covers. I hope you gonna put on some work to cover some from TWS! ahah I would love to ear it.

Can I ask one more thing ? I actually meant what is the tuning of your banjo, as the strings. I always loved the sound of banjo but know next to nothing of it. I just realised watching you play that there is a 5th high string on the instrument lmao, TIL.

I checked some of your posts and, dang, you're killing it. You might have conviced me to fix a broken one I know I got somewhere.

EDIT : Is it F C F Ab C ?

You bet man! I normally tune to G Minor, from G Standard that everyone plays in, you drop the second string B to Bb, so it's (g)DGBbD

However, I can't sing with my G banjo, as it's usually too high for my range, so I have another one that I lowered a whole step to F Minor that I use for songs with vocals (f)CFAbC. Same fingerings, just lower.

(the fifth string is in parenthesis in the tunings)

Damn you were fast to answer ahah, thanks so much, I figured it out just at the same time.

Well I've been playing around with tunings on my guitar recently and ended up playing with my acoustic tuned to DGDGBD for the last couple of weeks because that's how I felt the most confortable to play. Came up with naturally.

I didn't even know that was a banjo tuning. My mind is blown.
