B 9 chord diagram, starting at fret 1. Strings low to high: C 1st fret, G 4th fret, D 1st fret, A open.

B 9 stacks B – C# – D# – F# – A. Each chart below places those tones on the Tenor Banjo's CGDA strings and names the fret and finger holding each one — tap a chart to hear it.

A fifth between neighbouring strings spreads four notes over a wide span, so voicings here tend to be two- and three-string stabs a plectrum can hit cleanly on the beat rather than full stacks.

Then hand it over: a plectrum banjo lives or dies on the evenness of the stroke, so hold one voicing and play it as steady quarter notes before you let it move anywhere at all.
