Chord Voicings — Chicago Tuning Banjo

Start from a root note: every quality unfolds as charted DGBE voicings.

The Chicago Tuning Banjo chord reference: pick a root, then any of 62 qualities, and every charted voicing arrives on DGBE with its frets, its fingers, and audio.

These four open strings are pitch for pitch the top four of a guitar, so guitar fingerings arrive intact. What does not arrive is the sustain: a banjo head answers the pick and stops, which is why the picking hand carries the time here.
