Make your own chart. It will help you to remember the sequence.All you need to know is the abc and that there are flat/sharp notes in between all the notes except for B to C and E to F. Starting at G: G G#/Ab A A#/Bb B C and so forth. Of course there are some charts out there. google.com/search?q=5+string+B...oard+Note

I just browsed, found one I really like, and bought it. Put it in a frame with glass protection. Better than anything I could have done, and a lot less work. Sits between my bookcase and my computer.

Curious as to what use this would have, or how it could be helpful? Just wondering.

I agree with others: make your own. By doing that, you'll become more familiar with your banjo, strings and where notes are located than just getting a chart.
When I was first learning, that's what I did. There was no internet, no books on banjo picking, you pretty much had to figure it out on your own. I did just that. Starting with the first string open (D) and going all the way up the neck one fret at a time, then the same with the other strings. It isn't difficult at all, try it.

Hi Rich,
I don't want to spam the group, but you asked. :) I have a nice chart in my new banjo theory book from Mel Bay here melbay.com/Products/30671M/bas...onSId=B09
Also, lots of free banjo lessons on my website at rickmckeon.com
Rick

I bought a vintage chart on Ebay that is a fine piece of work. It takes up the better part of a wall in my little banjo playing room. It is made with a good grade of heavy paper. Hope my photo of it shows up in this post. It makes me feel very professional, at least.
Happy Weekend. Rk
