Does anyone know where I can find a chart of banjo chords in various tunings? I would like to print this down as a gift for Christmas but haven't been able to find anything worthwhile anywhere. I'm especially looking for C and double C tuning chord charts.

I have a book that I picked up at Long & McQuade, a Canadian Music store chain, called the Banjo case chord book, It is a great little book that fits neatly into your banjo case and has all sorts of tunings and the chords for those tunings. I'm sorry I don't know the publisher as I am at the office and can't get my hands on it right now. I believe it cost me about $8.00 Canadian which is baout $5.25 U.S.

Barbara, the publisher of the book Steve mentioned is Amsco Publications--and the book lists for only $4.95. I know Guitar Center carries it, as do many folk specialty stores. --seed

The banjo case chord book gets my vote too. Very clearly done.

Thanks, guys! Went on my lunch hour and picked up the Banjo Case Chord Book, and it's just perfect. I was actually looking for something FREE on the internet, but at $4.95, it was practically given away.

Mudcat Rules!

Barbara,

Glad to be of help. It's a great little book. Now does anyone know of a book or site that will keep a banjo in tune?

Keep on pickin'

I don't know how to keep it in tune, but you can get the banjo player to tune up REAL FAST by starting without him.

Steve, the real question is "Does anyone know of a book that will keep a banjo in its case?"

--seed (If I'd keep mine in its case, I'd get a lot fewer books thrown at me.

There is nothing better to clear a bar at closing time than to pick up a banjo.
