The most common type of chord is called a ‘Major chord’ so you might hear someone talk about ‘G major’ or ‘D major.’ There are also many other types of chords including ‘Minor’ chords, ‘Seventh’ chords and so on. You don’t necessarily need to play all the notes in a chord at the same time, that’s up to you. In most types of music the chords change fairly frequently throughout the song, so it’s important to be able to change chords easily. It’s not hard to play a chord on the banjo, however it will take some practice to be able to change between chords smoothly and quickly. You can learn more chords in the Member’s Area. Learning to play these two simple chords will enable you to play many many songs (remember you get a G chord automatically, so with C and D you will have three). The most important chords to learn are C and D. On the five string banjo it’s very easy to make a chord because the instrument is tuned to an ‘Open G chord,’ which means you don’t have to do anything with the left hand, you get a chord automatically. On the banjo (or any stringed instrument) you make a chord by playing several strings at the same time. Usually you need three notes to make a chord although you can have more and it’s also possible to make a chord with just two notes.
Three original members still perform as the Quarrymen.A chord is simply several notes played together at the same time that sound good. Since 1998, they have performed in many countries throughout the world, releasing four albums.
In 1997 the four surviving original members of the Quarrymen reunited to perform at the 40th anniversary celebrations of the garden fete performance at which Lennon and McCartney met for the first time. In 1960, the group changed their name to the Beatles (initially booked as the “Silver Beetles” by the local clubs who saw it as a more sellable name than “Beatles”) and went on to have a historically successful musical career. This left Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, who performed under several other names, including Johnny and the Moondogs and Japage 3 before returning to the Quarrymen name in 1959. The group moved towards rock and roll, causing several of the original members to leave. The group made an amateur recording in 1958, performing Buddy Holly’s “That’ll Be the Day” and “In Spite of All the Danger”, a song written by McCartney and Harrison. Both McCartney and Harrison attended the Liverpool Institute. George Harrison joined in early 1958 at McCartney’s recommendation, though Lennon initially resisted because he felt Harrison (14 when he was introduced to Lennon) was too young. The Quarrymen played at parties, school dances, cinemas and amateur skiffle contests before Paul McCartney joined in October 1957. Some accounts credit Lennon with choosing the new name other accounts credit his close friend Pete Shotton with suggesting the name. Lennon started a skiffle group that was briefly called the Blackjacks, but changed the name before any public performances.

Lennon’s mother, Julia Lennon, taught her son to play the banjo, showed Lennon and Eric Griffiths how to tune their guitars in a similar way to the banjo, and taught them simple chords and songs. The Quarrymen took their name from a line in the school song of their school, the Quarry Bank High School. The group who were named after Lennon’s school featured John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Len Garry, Eric Griffiths and John Lowe. This day in 1958 – George Harrison joined Liverpool group The Quarrymen.
