If anyone has (or wants to help), I like the kickoff break on the studio album.

Of course, if you have any break in scruggs style "in hand", I am interested. I need to learn 7 songs in 8 days for a show.

The kick off is almost the same as Darbys castle .

Randy,
I took a crack at it, and here's what I came up with. I did a Google search for chords, and I got a lot of different chord progressions. I show an A-chord on the 5th and 13th measures, but for those measures, you could stay on the C-chord.

Wayne, that's really nice. Measures 4 and 12 look so simply but sound so sweet!
We play A minor for measures 5 and 13.
I struggled on measure 6 getting a clean sound on the last E. I tried making a half-barre with my index finger and catching the 4th fret with my ring finger but it's awkward for me. So, I just substituted a Forward backward holding the 2 and 4.
Thanks for saving my bacon! I love that measure 4 sound for this melody.
