Notes: 2-finger index lead, but should work for other styles. Pretty basic TAB, add your own embellishments or corrections.

Notes: It can be instructive to compare the approach to a tune by different masters. In the tab you will find breaks to the tune "Out in the Cold World" by Don Stover, Earl Scruggs, and J. D. Crowe. They are generally similar, but the subtle differences are worth noting. Stover's break was recorded with Bill Monroe in 1957. Scruggs's break was recorded with the Foggies (as "My Wandering Boy") in 1964. Crowe's break was recorded with the Bluegrass Album Band and released in 1990.

Notes: Steve Martin wrote this tune and it seemed to become immediately popular, even winning him a Grammy CD. Here is a clawhammer arrangement of his 3-finger picking. In the key of C, it goes to a Dm in the last part -- a simple, but interesting tune.
