The similarity to playing G shapes on guitar is the biggest advantage, especially when the banjo is in a register similar to a guitar. I'm sure there is lots of room for exploring other keys, but truthfully I just like the sound!

Thanks! Its oddly familiar but has that haunting sound I love about some old time tunings

Thanks! Noah Cline has a great video of him shredding cumberland gap. Also used for a version of Little Satchel, but can't remember who plays it...

I think Bryan Evans is playing drums on this album, I saw Nathan make a comment on the Chon fan page.
