Progressions in B — 5-String Banjo

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

B major harmonises to B – C#m – D#m – E – F# – G#m – A#°; B minor to Bm – C#° – D – Em – F#m – G – A. Each chord links to its 5-String Banjo voicings, so a tune in B 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.
