Best Answer

The most important chords, and the ones that are taught first are the C, G, F, B flat, A seventh, E seventh, and D seventh chords. As for scales, they aren't used much in banjo playing, but as with most instruments, the simplest is the C major scale, as it is completely devoid of accidentals.

Should I play the banjo or the violin?

You should play the violin, it is classical and has a beautiful sound.Wow, I totally disagree. The violin is terribly difficult to get an agreeable sound in the beginning. It can take many weeks of scales and exercises before you can play the most basic of songs.The banjo is an instrumental that has been in one form or another around nearly as long as the violin. One form of the banjo the Akonting started in Africa and was brought over here by slaves.Using basic chord shapes and a simple strum you can play a simple song in just a few hours or less.But, if you like frustration go for the violin and give it a few years.


Is the banjo Irish?

The banjo is not of Irish origin, but it is often used in Irish folk song. The Banjo is actually the most American instrument. It originated in Africa and came over with the slaves. One it arrived in America, the "non-slaves" decided to revamp the banjo to use European scales melodies. Over the years many folks came along and tweaked the banjo or played it different to get a unique sound. Earl Scruggs or Bela Fleck are two banjo players that either were or are very unique in their playing.
