Your First Banjo Song
Step 9 of 10 · Beginner Banjo Path
Stephen Foster's Oh! Susanna in G — three chords you already own, charted for 5-string banjo.
What you'll learn
- Read a chords-over-lyrics chart in the key of G
- Back the melody with boom–pinch first, then with a rolling pattern
- Land G, C, and D7 changes on the downbeat of their words
- Play a full song top to bottom without stopping to fix mistakes
