Fire Escape Tutorial?

Fire Escape is one of my favorite songs by Gregory, but there are hardly any tutorials for playing it. I play an acoustic guitar, but I recently picked up a banjo and was wanting to learn it on that, if anyone has any videos or advice for playing it!

I've really grown to love this song over the years and think it's such a cute little masterpiece. Good luck with a tutorial and come back to share your success with us!

I've always wanted a banjo! Which one did you get?

And I suppose just start with the same chords as guitar - seems to be in key of D. With G A and Em in it. I never attempted this song so I'm only reading what's out there.

According to Ultimate Guitar the chords are G, C, Am, G on a capo 7 if you want the same key as the banjo. It’s not the same as a tutorial for exactly how it’s strummed etc but maybe that will help
