You can do that easy with Sforzando sfz, just open a wav file and open the .sfz in notepad from in C:\Program Files\PG Music Inc\Band-in-a-Box Sounds\Programs
Code:
<region>
sample=Nylon Acoustic.wav
offset=537600
end=1114112
pitch_keycenter=40

If you set your DAW timeline to Samples the offset is the start point and end the end point, pitch_keycenter is the midi note to play the sample.
Just make a copy of one of the SFZ text file and replace the "sample=Nylon Acoustic.wav" with "sample=Banjo.wav" and place the same recorded banjo notes in the DAW on another track at the same position as the guitar notes, set the DAW to 16bit 44.1Khz so the sample pos matches.
