These chords are often used in a picking style that simulates the sound of a banjo. A resonating, droning sound is created with the constant open D string over every chord with the right hand picking only the first four strings. This style is demonstrated next.
It is also possible to combine the banjo picking style with a melody, played mainly on the first string. The following arrangement of Will the Circle be Unbroken is an excellent example of this type of picking technique.
