Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

I know minstrel banjo is usually for solo work.

But does anyone have a chord chart for minstrel banjo tuned eAEG#B?

The Chord fingerings for the minstrel banjo are the same as for the standard "C" tuning, sometimes called "Dropped C" tuning, for regular banjo.  You just need to transpose down three steps. ( C chord in regular tuning would be an A chord in minstrel tuning.)

Here is an online chord generator site you can check out.

If you scroll down the left side of the page under "Some Tunings" and "Misc"  you will see the Minstrel  eAEG#B  tuning.  They have fingerings for chords you never imagined.
