About Banjo Warrior

A reference built the way banjo players actually learn — from the picking hand outward — for the five-string and its three four-string relatives.

Right hand first, always

Most instrument references stop at the left hand. On a banjo that is barely half the story: the fretted shape tells you which notes are available, and the picking hand decides which of them you actually hear, in what order, and how often. Banjo Warrior draws every page from that. Chords are charted string by string with the fret and finger named, so you can see what a roll can reach; scales are note maps with every root marked and the short drone flagged where it falls; and every family member gets honest pages of its own — the 5-string, the fifths-tuned tenor, the long-necked plectrum, and the Chicago-tuned four-string.

Hear everything

Every voicing, note map, and drill on the site plays back in the browser, so your ear learns alongside your fingers. The tuner and metronome are free, run entirely on your device, and need no account.

Part of the Warrior Network

Banjo Warrior is made by Cyberpunk Industries LLC as part of the Warrior Network. When you want to compare an instrument beyond the family, String Warrior covers every chord and scale on 20+ string instruments — the two sites share their underlying music data, and each writes its own pages for its own players.
