Am I tripping, or is this banjo tuning analogous to DADGAD guitar tuning? DADGAD is really nothing but Open D with the Major Third (F#) raised a half-step, right? As Suffet says, this banjo tuning is Open G with the second string, (B - the Major Third) raised a half step.Quick, someone give me a cyber-pat-on-the-back for figuring that one out or shoot me down if I'm wrong.
