Subject: RE: Charlie Poole's Banjo Style
Isn't "banjo style" an oxymoron??

Seriously, I like playing in 'Ward's High Atmosphere,' eCGCD, which I believe is actually a C9.

Anyway, for I (that's a Roman 1) I use either 00000 or 00005, for IV I use 06557 and for V, 08779. The relative minor, I think (no banjo in reach), is 00200. Simple folk soul that I am, those are the only chords I ever use; mostly I playing melodies or runs-and-fills.
