Notes: This is a tune that I give to beginners for practice on the square (thumb in and out) roll. I learned it from Grampa Jones, but have also heard it done by Jim Kweskin. Google the words. |

Notes: I hope this is readable. I just wrote it out and photographed the tab on the kitchen table. The 5th string doesn't sound too good in the D section against the D chord, so I avoided it. If you want to add it, play it very softly. I'm not sure what 2 keys Johnny used, but it definitely needs a key change of some sort.
The site will only allow me to put one key, but I've given you both G and D.

Notes: Here's an Irish tune that I discovered while messing with double C tuning. Usually played in D, so get out your capo. Sometimes attributed to O'Carolin and sometimes to P.D. |

Notes: Laudenum Bunches / The Perfect Cure - Two English Jigs learned from Robin Williams' Oak publication English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh Fiddle Tunes. While these are played 3-finger style, it isn't really Scruggs-style, more melodic. |

Notes: Laudenum Bunches / The Perfect Cure - The chords change very quickly in these jigs, so I've put them in a separate post to avoid cluttering the tab. |

Notes: Learned from Norman Blake's first solo album Home In Sulpher Springs. Norman and Tut Taylor play it as a guitar/Dobro duet. Norman says,"Probably an old Scotch (sic) tune." I've included a harmony line inspired by Tut Taylor's Dobro. |

Notes: This old hymn was written by Port Hope resident Joseph Scriven. They recently refurbished the monument to him in the town park and had a Joseph Scriven Day celebration. Our jug bandwas invited to play one song, but since George Hamilton IV got dibbs on this song, we did Denomination Blues. |

Notes: This song was written close to Mount Hope on the Hamilton "Mountain" near where I grew up. It began life as a poem written circa 1864 by a school teacher named George W. Johnson as a pledge of undying love to his wife, Maggie. Two years later it was set to music by by James A. Butterfield. A sad footnote: Maggie Johnson never got to hear the song as she died of consumption in 1865. A clawhammer/Scruggs style duet can be heard on Al Kirby's (Jazzy Al) Hangout page. The late Zeke Mazurek, our good friend, played fiddle on this cut. |

Notes: Tabbed at the request of one of my students. There are two versions here. I forget why I put the asterix in there, but it probably indicates that these two lines are almost the same thing, just found at different places on the fingerboard. |
