    Wow this is great. Ive been playing Scruggs style for 20 + years and tried to do Plectrum style so I can play in Jazz bands but its just so different. I really like the way you show what matters.

    Maybe you should look at the banjeurines that were made at the end of the 1880s through around 1910. These were five string banjos with a larger rim and shorter neck. S. S. Stewart made many of them and you can find them on the internet. At that time “classic” playing that included waltzes, marches and ragtime was all done on five string instruments with gut strings and a typical ensemble included the regular banjo, piccolo banjo, banjeurine and even bass banjo alone with guitars and mandolins. The early evolution of the tenor banjo comes from removing the fifth peg from a banjeurine and tuning in fifths so that violin and cello players could easily adapt to play for dance bands. I don’t think you’ve heard much tenor banjo playing if you think it’s limited and not as energetic as five string playing. Google tenor banjo playing. 😄

      From the chords it looks to me like 1=D, 2=B, 3=G, 4=C

      @@twomovesahead_media I don't think so. The first melody note is E, played on the 14th fret. You can't do that with the 1st string tuned to A. In other words, the 1st string tuned to D has an octave (D) on the 12th fret, therefore the 14th fret is an E. I play bluegrass banjo and the chords are identical except for the 4th string which is usually a D for me.
