basic in that book and I am looking for this in the classic style repertoire. I am just beginning to read and want to work methodically from the ground up.
What is the overlap between minstrel and classic style repertoires? Considering that the right hand technique is so different, I would have thought that one simply cannot play as many notes in the same patterns with stroke style. But yet I have seen a number of minstrel players working from some of the same instructional books uploaded on this site, like Converse for instance.
Lastly, could someone point me to which nylon weight and brand strings to replace my steel ones with (assuming this is recommended?)?
If I understood correctly, the Grimshaw book specifies that the tuning is set to eAEG#B-- is it standard to actually tune up to this? If I may ask-- why? And so will the main keys then be E and A?
Thank you in advance!

ssibly be right. But if we ignore the instructions and leave the second string as-is (meaning at G# rather than G natural), we getG# A | B A B C# B G# E . | B F# A B d# . . . | B F# A B d# B A F# | E . d# . d# B G# ATransposed up to concert pitch, that becomesB C | D C D E D B G . | D A C D f# . . . | D A C D f# D C A | G . f# . f# D B CSo yes, it's a G major melody with the high f# used in the context of D7, but the tuning must be f#DGBD, not f#DGA#D. Something must have been lost in translation between the editor and publisher because the tuning instructions are not correct. …
