When you go to the last upper G chord position in your Nine Pound Hammer example, I cannot make out the fingering position for the variation you are doing. Is. It a G7 or something else?
Thanks.
Hey Ben,
Great video. Trying to spice up my vamping with licks and rolls. Looks like typical towards the end of an A or B section. You briefly mentioned it in real songs video. Do you have any videos that cover ideas or strategies? Maybe some lick ideas. Enjoyed the Russ Carson Live. Liked the damped back up. Please do more.
Wow! I just kinda stumbled on this video today, so glad I did. I knew about the F-shape and the D-shape and how if you put them on different places on the ol’ banjo they’d make a different chord, but this video series brought it all together!! Talk about a light bulb moment! The mysterious banjo neck is starting to reveal itself to me! Thank you very much Ben! God Bless You and see you in Big Fork!!

So if I wanted to get to the 6th chord, I would just follow the “whole whole half whole whole whole half” major scale pattern. Therefore the 6th chord would be just two more frets up the neck from the 5th chord, correct? 7th would be whole and 8th would be a half fret up, correct?

Correct!
Correct, just know that the “8th” is a full octave up and you start over.
