As the subtitle says, this book is "An In-Depth Exploration of 5-String Banjo G Tuning." Even though the world has a lot of banjo chord books, they are all missing a lot of information, and they paint a very fuzzy and fragmented picture of how the banjo works. This is the first really complete map of the fingerboard, and the geometry of the banjo fingerboard is laid out here more carefully and clearly than ever before. The role of the 5th string is detailed for the first time ever, and for each chord you can see the musical value of adding notes on it or droning the G note. (Most banjo chord books only show you 4 strings!)

The 150 pages are packed with useful information, helpful tips and over 2500 banjo chords, carefully mapped out.

• The whole fingerboard is shown for each chord, which helps you see and understand at a glance what is happening inside each chord.

• The note names and scale degrees are shown, so you can clearly see the placement and musical function of every note of every chord.

• Clear, "banjo-friendly" discussions of chord structure and music theory

• Most chords have 4 or 5 strings sounding.

• Open and closed-position chord types are both included.
