Really sorry about the bird in the background and my low audio on the voice, who knew till I listened back. I have a much improved video and audio quality of this video at this link. • How to Play a 6 String... .
My intent on this is if Guitar Players buy a six string banjo hoping to get a banjo sound in certain situations, this could make it possible to a lot closer to sounding like a 5-string banjo by tuning like this. It also helps in not needing to change much when it comes to chording. I'm going to redo the video as soon as I can. I will need to get a hold of another six string banjo though first.

Thanks to Ross for this video. There is a lot of great information in this video - some of which may be lost on the guitarist that just wants to get a banjo sound for a song or two. My suggestions would be a) realize that the banjo sound we're accustomed to hearing comes from the right hand (at least in Scruggs style) and the use of finger picks, b) if you're playing with others or a group, try to play one note at a time (avoid strumming). And lastly, I would encourage all musicians to get a 5 string and invest a bit of time in learning a few tunes like Cripple Creek. You'll either fall in love with it, or... Ben Price - San Antonio
great advice! I installed the first five strings tuned as in the five string banjo to be able to use the high G on the whole neck, moving the middle finger or adding the thumb of the left hand during the rolls
The big advantage of a 6 String Banjo is that the tuning is fully Chromatic. Unlike the 5 String Banjo you can play in every key withouth re-tuning, & you can even use a Guitar capo too.
fantastic... thanks heaps
I do play the Banjitar. & it sounds perfect for covers.
thanks, very interesting
