Banjo: Tuner, Chords, Learn

Tune the banjo, play it and learn it, all in one app. The tuner marks the peg to turn, eight
courses take you from holding the banjo to rolls, clawhammer and the tenor, ten drills train
your ear, hands and timing, 168 chords come with every finger shown, and a songbook of 75
songs puts them to work.

Then it hands you the instrument. In Simulation the banjo is on your screen: pick a single
string, strum across all five, or strum along to a song's chords.

• Tuner: the headstock on screen with the peg to turn marked, fifth-string drone included, and
a live needle that never flashes "in tune" early. Nine tunings: open G, double C, sawmill,
open D, double D and drop C on the 5-string, plus tenor (CGDA and Irish GDAE) and plectrum
• Learn: eight courses (71 lessons). Four for the 5-string, from how to hold it and your first
roll to the G lick, forward-roll backup, clawhammer, vamps, chokes, melodic and single-string
style, and four for the tenor banjo
• Songbook: 75 songs, fiddle tunes, bluegrass breakdowns and standards, old-time, folk and
gospel, with a chord mode that lets you strum them in Simulation
• Practice: ten drills: ear training, melodic dictation, fretboard, intervals, chord changes,
timing, rhythm, scales, sight reading and strumming, with your time, streak, daily goal and
weak spots tracked across all of them
• Chords: 168 chords (12 roots, 14 types), up to three fingerings each, drawn for whichever of
the nine tunings you are in, and Fingering: every grip finger by finger
• Simulation: a banjo you can play, pick one string or strum all five
• Tools: metronome, drone, scales, chord and scale, circle of fifths, capo and transpose,
practice recorder, overtones and String Health
• 12 color palettes, light and dark themes, left-handed mode

Free: the tuner with every tuning, the needle and bar meters, Simulation, major, minor, 7th
and minor 7th chords, four starter scales, the two fundamentals courses (5-string and tenor), the first three songs (one with chord mode to strum along), the first level of every
drill, and the metronome, drone, recorder and capo. No ads, no account, no subscription.

Banjo Pro is one optional in-app purchase, paid once: the strobe meter, every other chord
type, the other courses, the rest of the songbook with chord mode to strum along, every drill level, every scale, chord and scale, the circle of
fifths, overtones, String Health and practice insights. Never a subscription, and the tuner is
never gated.

It all works offline, and Banjo collects no data: see the Data safety section below.
