Seems to me this would be simply a matter of using guitar standard tuning 
and playing guitar chords and fingerings. Most any guitar method book should 
get you started rather quickly.

Does anyone out there play a six string banjo tuned differently than a 
guitar?

Anyway, that's what I'd do.

Cheers,
