Notes: The old Italian/French song, "J'attendrai", arranged for Reno-style (labelled Scruggs, but really more Reno-ish) banjo. Also, it's labelled jazz, but it's really a Jazz tune arranged for bluegrass banjo; the chords are authentic though. Taken from Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli, & the Hot Club de France's movie from 1939. The ending is played by planting the heel of the right hand behind (above) the strings, & brushing upward in rapid succession (eight notes) with the index & middle fingers; this is hard, but definitely doable with practice. The Django-style run can be played with thumb & index up to a certain speed, and can probably be played at faster speeds with all three fingers though I do not play this way. Have fun!

Notes: This is a little-known Don Reno banjo tune, Jacknife-in'. He actually played it at only a medium tempo, but this version here is blazing fast in the manner of Jeremy Stephens, who recorded it for his CD, "Scarlet Banjo". Some of these breaks here are based on some of his breaks, and some are my own. Due to the tempo, single string work, and some very quick changing of positions this is quite a difficult piece. Single string work is TITI. It's labled Open G (gDGBD), but it has the 5th capoed up 2 (at the 7th fret) for aDGBD, in the key of D. Also, it's labeled "scruggs", but it's really "Reno" style. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: This is the arrangement featured on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy movie soundtrack. It can either be played in 3-finger style, or flatpicked (if you're proficient with a flat pick, that is). The tuning is Open Cm (c C G C Eb); the fifth string is tuned to a high-C note (you'll need a fifth-string capo to achieve this pitch). There are two midis provide. The first midi gives you the sound of each string in the Cm tuning. The second midi follows the tab note for note.

Notes: This tab was transcribed from the playing of Bernie Leadon, former member of the country-rock band The Eagles. The recorded source can be found on The Eagles release One Of These Nights. Banjo is tuned to an Open Cm tuning with the fifth string tuned to a high-C note (c C G C Eb). NOTE: The tuning changes to an Open C tuning at the end of the song.

Notes: A traditional fiddle tune that works well on the banjo. Don Stover played only backup on Doc Watson's recording of June Apple, and this inspired me to work out a lead break for it. Many years later I heard Bill Keith play it, and I modified my version slightly to incorporate one of his ideas (the following chromatic lick: second string sixth fret --> first string fourth fret --> fifth string). The tab is in open G, and normally one would play it capoed up 2 frets, to A.

Notes: This is a transcription of a banjo break played by Bobby Thompson. Mixture of Scruggs and Melodic styles. This (or parts of it) could be used in a variety of songs with the simple G, C, D chord progression, such as Orange Blossom Special, etc.
