Progressions in G# — 5-String Banjo

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

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