I'm a beginner clawhammerist and starting to attend some moderate (94 bpm) old time jams. I'm trying to get as much knowledge as I can on the MOST common tunings used in MOST old time jams. I realize it depends on the leader and some other factors, but would would you say as the 3 (or 4) most common tunings for the average old time jams? Second question......is D tuning used much? I assume this is double D tuning. Do you find it is called for a lot in the average old time jams?
Last question.....what would be the 3 most common tunings that are called for in an average (if there is such a thing) moderate bluegrass jam?
Many thanks. I want to make sure I learn the most commonly used ones FIRST to make it easier on my 63 yr old brain.
