Banjo chord charts5-string banjo in open G, double C, sawmill, open D and C tuning

Each chart leads with the shape published chord charts use (seventy of them are the app’s own test), worked out from the tuning by the 5-String Banjo Chords app. Each page has the fingering, the notes, whether the short 5th string belongs, the moveable shapes up the neck and a capo route. Major, minor and 7th chords on every root; m7, maj7, 6, sus and diminished chords on the roots banjo keys use. New to the banjo? Start with the tuning.
