In my Tabs, # following Ks and Zs is the fret number. Tenor Banjo

K\/k the Alternate picking code Z\/z ,the Alternate strum code. ++=Note Held Z"=Repeat Finger Stop ,---,---,---,---=4/4 beats

Stopping string(s) makes pitch(es) change giving CHORD SHAPES: Alternate fingering for these stops make the same sound overall allowing, for fluid changes depending on the next chord or single string pitch change, in common line movements.
