Banjo guitar

October 15, 2023

Banjo guitar or banjitar[1] is a six-string banjo tuned in the standard tuning of a six-string guitar (E2-A2-D3-G3-B3-E4 from lowest to highest strings). It differs from the standard five-string banjo, which features a short drone string that ends three-quarters of the way up the neck on the low side of the fretboard but is tuned highest of the strings in re-entrant tuning. The first versions of six-string banjos were introduced in the late 19th century though did not gain popularity. The concept was reintroduced in the latter part of the 20th century with modern guitar-like tuning, allowing guitarists to play with a banjo sound without having to learn all new fingerings.

Banjo guitar players Edit

Johnny St. Cyr was the first well known player of six string banjo. He used it in Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven, with Jelly Roll Morton, and in his own recordings after World War II. [2]

A number of musicians have played banjo guitars or guitjos, and one a double-necked guitjo.
