20 Dec 98 - 09:08 PM (#50372) Subject: Banjo Tunings and Chords From: Barbara Shaw 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. |

21 Dec 98 - 12:30 PM (#50445) Subject: RE: Banjo Tunings and Chords From: Steve Latimer 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. |

23 Dec 98 - 03:38 PM (#50699) Subject: RE: Banjo Tunings and Chords From: Barbara Shaw 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! |

23 Dec 98 - 09:07 PM (#50758) Subject: RE: Banjo Tunings and Chords From: Barbara Shaw 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. |
