    Has anyone worked this one out? I was happily playing it out of Am (although I can't get that E to where I like it on the banjo, but that's my ineptitude). Then I loaded it into the Amazing Slowdowner and it isn't that at all. Granted, the recording may not be pitch correct because it's live, but there's still something I'm missing. Thoughts?

    I know my inlaws think I'm a terrible singer! I suspect they hear all the dissonance and figure I just don't know what I'm doing (and they have a point), but I muddle through anyway. Can't really play Gillian Welch without weird intervals. Fortunately, I play the banjo, and that adds plenty of weird.
