  1. Guitar, bass and drum tabs & chords with free online tab player. One accurate tab per song. Huge selection of 500,000 tabs.
  2. Note about the use of tablature: Pete recommends tablature as an aid to learning specific content, and not as a primary means to master the fundamentals of Scruggs style banjo. That combination of ear skills and timing skills is best developed with minimal use of tablature. Pete’s advice on how that’s done.

Welcome to banjo-tablatures.com...


...and thanks for visiting our brandnew website! Banjo-tablatures.com just went live on 19th of June 2011, so there is still much room for content which is being filled step by step, day after day. The Banjo Chords pages are pretty complete and the collection of Banjo Tabs, according MIDI Files and Youtube Banjo Videos is growing everyday! To keep you updated on the progress of banjo-tablatures.com we installed a 'News-Page' where all alterations and new Banjo Tabs will be published.

This website is dedicated to all those people in the world playing the Tenor Banjo. The purpose of this website is to provide some general information concerning the Irish Tenor Banjo but mainly to share Banjo Tabs, Sheets, MIDIs and Chords for the Banjo. What distinguishes this website from other Tab Sites is that on banjo-tablatures.com you will be able to find different versions of one tune, youtube videos and other helpful stuff to facilitate learning new tunes. We can't guarantee that all of the Banjo Tabs will be flawless, but we make sure to play every single one of them and only share those versions with you that are playable and enjoyable.

Tablatures Guitare Facile

Since we play the Irish Tenor Banjo, the tunes uploaded here will be for G-D-A-E tuning, so they can also be used as Mandolin Tabs. For the future, we also plan to implement an extra Page for Bluegrass 5-string Banjo Tabs but right at the moment we are still too busy creating Tenor Banjo Tabs, so it may take a while for the Bluegrass Tabs to come.

Newest Banjo Tabs:

Future Projects:

  • 1. A guide on how to read Banjo Tabs
  • 2. Implementing a difficulty system for the Tabs and thereby creating a Banjo Course or Banjo Tab Suggestion System
  • 3. Displaying CDs that contain the specific Tune that a visitor is playing
  • 4. A Bluegrass Banjo Tabs Page
  • 5. A random Tab function
  • 6. To make large collections (O'Neill's, Nottingham Database) available as Banjo/Mandolin Tabs
