There are apparently a number of Miss Liza Jane songs. I came across a tab for this one among the tabs in Tony Spadaro’s Tabonanza  and I’ve been working on it on the oil can along with some other songs tabbed out in that group of tunes.

This is in Double D tuning. Players on an regular size banjo would tune to Double C tuning and capo up, but on the can, with its short scale neck, I normally tune a tone above standard tuning, so in this case I’m tuning directly to Double D – aDADE.

As I improve my skills with this instrument, I’d like to develop a lighter touch and more relaxed and confident feel. At this stage, after just a month, I’m happy to be able to more or less get through a tune.
