Tenor Banjo Chords

This comprehensive chord book provides a visual guide to the fundamental chords for the four-string or tenor banjo. The book features a collection of photographs and diagrams that illustrate the fingering positions for a wide range of chords, including major, minor, seventh, diminished, augmented, and ninth chords.

For each chord type, the book offers a clear, close-up photograph of the fingering on the banjo fretboard, as well as a corresponding diagram. In addition to the more common chord types, the book also covers major seventh, minor seventh, sixth, minor sixth, seventh augmented fifth, and seventh diminished fifth chords, which are presented in diagram form only.

The introduction to the book covers important aspects of playing the banjo, such as proper hand positioning and tuning the instrument (low to high C-G-D-A). This instruction is not only valuable for beginners but can also serve as a helpful reference for more experienced banjo players.

Furthermore, the content of this chord book is not limited to the banjo; it is also suitable for the mandola, a similar four-string instrument that shares many of the same chord shapes and progressions.

By combining visual aids, clear instructions, and comprehensive coverage of chord types, this chord book provides a valuable resource for musicians looking to expand their knowledge and mastery of the banjo or mandola. Whether you are a beginner just starting to learn the instrument or an experienced player seeking to broaden your repertoire, this book offers a user-friendly and comprehensive guide to the essential chords for these four-string stringed instruments.
