Nine years ago my banjo chord chart was published on the Old Time Herald (Dr. Cranium's Chords for Banjo from the mind of Carl Baron; fall 98 vol.6 no.5:35-36). I’ve gotten permission to place the chord chart (two jpg files) in my photo album on my Banjo Hangout home page. The chart is for the follow tunings (given both as without and with capo on the 2nd fret); strings listed as 5, 4, 3, 2, 1:
Bb fBbFBbD (C gCGCE)
F fCFGCD (gDGDE)
C gCGCD (D aDADE)
G modal gDGCD (A modal aEADE)
G gDGBD (A aEAC#E)
D f#DF#AD (E g#EG#BE)
There are also five other special tunings listed. For a complete list of banjo tunings, the best site I know is:

Thanks! I've been trying to do a old-time guitar/banjo duet in double C and have been trying to construct or fake chords.
Open G is only the beginning..

Very useful. I have to send this along to my stepson. He's just starting to learn clawhammer.
