Well, I got the new banjo yesterday. Deering Good Time banjo, I dont think I could be happier with it.

Im using the standard G tuning (G D G B D) and I think that should be able to barre the strings straight across the neck in order to get some simple chords, but I dont exactly know the progression of the chords - All strings open makes a G- then barring the first fret makes an A, second makes an A# etc.

Am I on the right track here? It almost sounds too simple.

Almost!

The open strings are a G chord
The 1st fret would be a G# (G sharp)
2nd an A
3rd A#
4th B
5th C
6th C#
7th D
8th D#
9th E
10th F
11th F#
12th G

You have to watch out for the 5th string, it will not fit in all chords.

I'd do more but I gotta run. Maybe somebody else can add before I get back.

(Learn to read music, and some theory along with learning to play!)
