 I collected some chord settings for accompanying the slipjig The Butterfly. Here's my listing:

Top 20 Slipjigs played on the banjo at slow speed (80 BPM)

Ben Hockenberry and his series of Top 20 Tunes of each genre. Here he plays 20 famous SlipJigs at slow speed. Good for practicing accompaniment. Remember you can make youtube to play it faster if you want to practice at higher speed.
