Progressions — 5-String Banjo

Every key's diatonic chords, charted as real 5-String Banjo voicings. Pick a key below and its chord family arrives on gDGBD, ready to play behind a fiddle, behind a singer, or behind nobody at all.

Most old-time and bluegrass tunes are three chords in one key. Owning a key here means the next voicing is already under the hand before the bar turns — and that the right hand never has to pause while the left one catches up.
