Tony says he likes to start students learning three chords to begin with: G, C, and D7. He says it’s critical to start out playing these banjo chords “because bluegrass banjo is so oriented to the key of G.”
Playing a chord simply means playing three or more notes together. Same as other instruments, banjo chords are built off of a single note, called the root. With the banjo in G tuning, the G chord is the root. You can simply strum all five strings to make a G chord.
Tony goes on to explain that in bluegrass, the G/C/D7 three-chord pattern is very common. What’s more, many of Earl Scruggs’ great instrumentals make use of these chords in the key of G. In case you don’t know, Earl Scruggs was one of the most innovative banjo players who ever lived. He pioneered the distinctive three-finger bluegrass sound that you’re probably already familiar with.
