You know those banjo pickers that know exactly where to put their fingers? I want you to be one, too. We continue our Waypoints Study where I systematically teach you the banjo neck in a fun and memorable way! You know the G & C chord, now let's learn the "waypoints" on the banjo neck for the D chord and how to use them!

standard tablature convention. Bass is always on the bottom similar to standard notation.

Why is the tab flipped (string position marked on top 2 strings as you play bottom 2 strings)
I thought that if the top string are played that would show the top lines on the tap
What am I apparently missing?
Thank you

[@v2807]

The tab isn’t flipped. Think of it as if you’re looking down at your fretboard as a right handed player.

[@BanjoBen]

Takes a bit to get used to, but as @v2807 said, imagine peeking over your fretboard to see the strings...that's how tab reads.

Thank you
I’ll have to start practicing that
Is it all tab that reads like that?
Have I been practicing my earl scruggs song book wrong?
Thanks again

[@BanjoBen]

@@familyonamissiongo4790 The Earl Scruggs book is written in the same orientation of the tab here, yep.

[@familyonamissiongo4790]

I’ve been practicing wrong for a year
Bummer
Thanks for putting up with my ignorance
My 6th grace teacher taught me that ignorance is curable but stupidity is forever
Thank you for the cure
