Today, we’re learning "Scream Time" — my G-minor take on the iconic "Theme Time." If you've been looking for a way to make your banjo sound a little more haunting, this is the lesson for you. To get that spooky sound, we’re stepping away from standard G tuning. By simply dropping our second string down to a B-flat, the whole mood of the banjo changes, opening up a world of "creepy" possibilities. In this lesson, we cover: G-Minor Tuning: A quick guide to retuning your B string to B-flat to set the stage for the minor key. The "Scream Time" Kick-off: Breaking down the simple pinches and rolls that build that haunting opening atmosphere. Melodic Walk-ups: A slow walk-through of the high-neck positions and chime endings that give this tune its signature "spooky" finish. Partial Chord Shapes: How to navigate the minor-key versions of familiar shapes, including C-minor and a partial F. Spooky Homework: Why you should take this new tuning and try playing "Cripple Creek"—trust me, it’s a game-changer for your Halloween repertoire! Don't be intimidated by the minor key. Most of the rolls you already know will work perfectly; you just have to tweak your fingerings a bit to find those new "dots" on the neck. You can do it!   / jimpankey     / wildjimbo     / wildjimbo     / jim.pankey   What’s your favorite tune to play in a minor key? Have you ever tried "Cripple Creek" in G-minor?
