The G Major Chord

Getting Off to an Easy Start

You may or may not know this but, when when your banjo is in G major tuning , strumming the open strings produces a G major chord! While there are other ways to make this chord on the banjo neck, we'll start here. Make sure to plant your thumb on the 5th string as you complete each strum.

In the next lesson, we'll learn how to form the D7 chord.
