F# Rock 'n' Roll — Plectrum Banjo

F# Rock 'n' Roll is 6 notes to the octave (blues family), drawn here across the Plectrum Banjo's CGBD strings with every F# marked, so home stays visible from anywhere in the pattern.

Major pentatonic with a b3 rubbed against the natural 3 — bright and bouncy with a bluesy smirk. Playful, swinging, and built for boogie riffs.

Heard in: Fifties rock, rockabilly, boogie-woogie, Chuck Berry-style riffs, and jump blues.

The long neck puts the same note in more places than four strings usually offer, so these maps show the whole CGBD field and leave the choice of route to you.

Run it against a click at a tempo where every note gets the same weight. On a banjo an uneven scale is audible immediately — the instrument gives you no sustain to hide behind.
