Playing up the Neck – F Shape Chords
There are many ways to play each chord on a banjo, so today I’m going to talk about the F shape chords. An F shape is a chord that uses the same finger positions as the basic F chord.
Let’s start by playing an F chord, now move this chord up the neck to the fifth fret. Strum this chord, but don’t play the fifth string – this is a G chord. Move this F shape chord it up to the seventh fret – this an A chord.
