Progressions in A# — 5-String Banjo

Every chord the key of A# owns, charted on gDGBD and ready to pick.

A# major harmonises to A# – Cm – Dm – D# – F – Gm – A°; A# minor to A#m – C° – C# – D#m – Fm – F# – G#. Each chord links to its 5-String Banjo voicings, so a tune in A# becomes a short list of shapes before the first repeat.

Then check the key against the short g: some keys let it ring free through every change, and some make it a note you have to work around. Knowing which is which is most of what "playing in a good key" means here.
