hey! i’ve been using alternativebanjo for a few months now, ever since i got my first banjo. i love it! it’s been such a great help.

a quick note about this tab – i noticed while playing the d chord right after “tell it to your sister, too” and in subsequent appearances of that chord… it didn’t quite sound right. i may have figured it out, though, and tell me what you think –

instead of the d chord the way it is currently tabbed out, the d5 chord (the opening chord to the song) seems to fit better. it’s also considerably easier to get to in time.

what do you think?

Thanks for this, it’s awesome.
By the way, would you mind getting a tab out for “He Woke Me Up Again?”

Thanks so much for this, I didn’t even realize Sufjan was still alive haha. Also, props on the tab, keep up the good work.

wow, you pulled that tab together quickly.
Thanks mike!

Also, I found an amazing live CD of Sufjan playing in Toronto in 2004 last Saturday at a record store. The CD is called “North of the 50 States.” It was in an actual CD case, but it looks very home made and low budget. The quality is shockingly good though, someone somewhere put some serious effort into it.
If you’re interested in it dm me on twitter (I follow altbanjo) and I can give you a link.

P.S. I am an avid watcher of Jeopardy, and today they had a category on banjos. How wonderful!
