Mel Bay Publications

This book presents an extremely comprehensive collection of 5-string and plectrum banjo chord forms for G and C tunings. Beginning with C and proceeding chromatically through B, every possible inversion of every chord, from basic triads to thirteenth chords are shown in easy to read diagrams.

To aid in comprehension of chord construction, every chord is shown in root position in standard notation.
A general review of hand positions, general technique, bridge adjustments, strings, and use of the capo is provided in the last few pages.
Illustrated with pencil drawings, diagrams and photographs.
