5 String Banjo for Beginners

Welcome to Elfshot Banjo! This site is aimed mostly at beginners but has no beginning or end. It is a collection of information that I am constantly building as I learn more about the 5 wire. Instead of writing my notes down on post-it notes, I've decided to share them online. I hope I find this of some use - and others too! I'd love to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions.

News - late 2008

Elfshot banjo is currently being redesigned. To make this resource more comprehensive I'm putting the call out for contributions. If you have something you think would be useful for other players, please drop me a line.
