Notes: Not everyone can sing Rocky Top in G, A, B flat, or B. One guy I have picked with (Vic the Butcher, who is the biggest ... but I digress) can sing it only in D. Well, it works well in D, in G tuning with the fifth string tuned up to A (slip it under the model railroad spike at the seventh fret). The only tricky bits in my arrangement are in the chorus. If you have difficulty figuring out how it should sound, let me know and I'll try to post a sound file. |

Notes: Sockeye is a wonderful banjo tune by Don Reno. I love its jubilant feel. I have tabbed two breaks. The first is a straightforward version of the tune that establishes the melody. Although it is by no means in Reno's inimitable style, it does include several licks reminiscent of his picking. The B part is built around a D lick from the playing of another of my favorite pickers, the great Don Stover. If you can grab this lick, you will find it useful in all sorts of tunes. The second break is considerably more interpretive, with some melodic and other elements. Pay particular attention to the timing of the D runs that involve melody notes on the higher strings with pivoting off the open fourth string. |

Notes: This is a great old tune by Reno and Smiley. I have tabbed out two up-the-neck breaks. The first sticks pretty close to the melody; the second departs a bit and includes some licks that you might find useful in a variety of tunes. If you go to the Music section on my BHO web page, you will find a track of this song, from a practice tape by my band Silver Spring, recorded in Vancouver, B.C., in the mid-1970s. The second break in the tablature is the one on the track. On the recording, we played in A; so just capo up 2 and play it as tabbed in G. Note that the last D chord is a bit tricky, because it involves alternating the index and middle fingers while picking the first string. Although difficult, the lick is worth mastering, because you can use it in lots of tunes. The melody in the lick is played on the first string and involves a descending melodic sequence (D --> C --> B --> A --> G) embedded in a repetitive rhythmic pattern, as follows, with the melody string IN CAPITALS: ONE--three--two--one--ONE--three--two-one---ONE-three--two--one, and so on. |

Notes: Nice tune by Walter Hensley. Good beginner's song except for the high position break, which requires playing out of the "cumberland gap" position. |

Notes: Great tune by John Denver. Straight Scruggs and fairly easy to play. This tab should make a good study because the melody is well defined and you can see how the melody is worked into the roll patterns. Tab has the melody notes highlighted. |
