Once I have the score, this app made more sense. But the videos aren't working on my iPad. Do they work at all?

This app is great and has helped me a lot in preparing for the musical. Thankyou!

I just downloaded this app to prepare for upcoming performance I’ll be doing of the musical. I was a bit confused by the tuning/capo directions at first, but I think I’ve figured it out and wanted to clear it up for anyone else who’s curious. First, it appears using 2 separate banjos is recommended (hence Banjo A and Banjo B). Banjo A should be tuned down 3 halfsteps from G standard to eBEG#B, as a few of the songs are in the key of E. That is why when you need to play in open G tuning (gDGBD), it says Capo 3. This tuning works better on a long neck banjo, but you can get by on a regular scale 5 string. Heavy gauge strings would be helpful to make up for the lack of string tension in this lower tuning if you don’t have a long neck, which is probably what I’m going to do. Banjo B is reserved for Double C tuning (gCGCD) and is often played with the capo on the 2nd fret to sound in the key of D. Hope this clears up some of the confusion!
