Banjo Chords: Chord Shapes

Now that I've shown you a few open position chords I'd like to go further up the neck to show you some more positions of the chords. This one, for example, would be G-Major in the fifth fret. [plays chord] Now to get, for example, C-Major in the fifth position, I could use a bar across the fifth string [plays chord] and if I wanted to keep this bar, for example, and play D-Major, I could move up to the seventh fret [plays chord] to get D-Major.

Another shape for G I could use is this shape [plays shape]. From this position to get the C, I could move my little finger up one fret to the tenth string [plays key], my index finger to the eighth fret of the second string [plays key], my middle finger to the ninth fret of the third string [plays key], and my ring finger to the tenth fret of the fourth string [plays key]. So to play the keys at the chords of G-Major in this position, I could play it like this.
