Notes: Transcribed from Earl's rendition on Foggy Mountain Banjo. It's not exact, but I think it's extremely close. Includes solos and backup. I set the metronome pretty slow so I can play along. To play at Earl's speed, set the Tabledit tempo (CTRL-K or CMD-K) to 288.

Notes: Such a great recording of Bugle Call Rag - I can't stress enough how cool it is!

Russ takes the Scruggs vocabulary we know and love and keeps it fresh and exciting with clever syncopation and wonderful delivery!
Don't take the annotations on the tab to seriously - while it helps to bend the 2-3 slides and make certain parts real greasy, I really just put em' in for a little fun.
Enjoy!

Notes: This is my interpretation of how Earl Scruggs played this tune on the "Foggy Mountain Banjo" album. All lead breaks and backup are included. The tab is written such that you can follow along with the recording. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only, tab is displayed at 4 bars per line, and view is scaled to 16th notes. The first few blank measures are there to maintain the chord & bar patterns (4 bars per phrase) such that each phrase starts at the beginning of a line.
