Notes: This version of All My Loving by the Beatles is based on an arrangement by Tom Arri. This version is slightly different from Tom’s arrangement and it contains Harrison’s guitar solo rearranged for banjo. I thought about adding the triplet guitar rhythm to really make it sound like the Beatles, but ended up not adding it because it muddied the arrangement. If you want to hear how the triplets would have changed the arrangement, I left part of it in module 5 of the TablEdit file. Enjoy!

Notes: This tab of 60's Dave Clark Five song actually works well with clawhammer style (IMO). Here is a simple version I hope someone can use. I didn't know whether to classify this as beginner or intermediate. I consider myself a beginner but perhaps some of these chords might be a challenge to the raw beginner. I am aslo uploading a separate TAB with lyrics and chords. I find them useful learning a new song and picking out the melody.

Also included now is the intro from the Spectrum album.

Notes: This is banjo - guitar duet of Paul McCartney's Blackbird. The guitar is from Paul's playing. The interesting is that he uses only 2-finger chords, fretting mostly the second and the fifth string, and uses the open third string as a kind drone. The banjo is a relatively simple 3-finger with mixed forward and backward rolls to match the rhythm of the guitar.

Notes: This is an attempt to play Simon&Garfunkel's old hit. I started to work on this tune in the 1970's and at last I think I have come to something that can be presented for others. This arrangement is basically for a sole banjo where I have tried to pick up a little of the rhythm and of the harmonies in the song. I added a rather simple guitar accompaniment, mostly on the bass strings to give the right rhythm. The melody notes are to a large extend played by I/M pinches, where the melody note is played on the first string (middle finger) and the index plays a supporting harmony note below the melody note.

Notes: This is a clawhammer-played backing track for "Burden in My Hand" as performed by Soundgarden. I was interested in learning to play and sing a song that was never meant for banjo in a clawhammer style, and this is what I came up with! It seemed appropriate considering the recent passing of Chris Cornell. Many thanks to whomever published the chord structure on www.songsterr.com. I found this version to be very well done and it gave me a great starting point. I also want to thank Mike Iverson for his excellent website banjoutah.com, where I found the fingerings for the chords in Gm tuning.
This is my very first tab of any kind, so comments and critiques are welcome. I invite any interested players to make improvements, add licks and even change styles to Scruggs or other as the notion takes you. I have included chord diagrams to facilitate further creativity.

Notes: I made this tab on a request for a clawhammer tab, but it includes three different versions. Down On The Corner is a difficult clawhammer tune because of its calypso rhythm, three-finger style works much better. To get the calypso rhythm in clawhammer you must use some drop thumbs combined with "skips" (or air brushes), and emphasize the drop thumb notes. To get the calypso rhythm in 3-finger it is just to play a forward roll (T M t I M t I M - T for emphasize melody note played by thumb and t for thumb on fifth string)
The three versions I have tabbed are:
1. First the basic riffs, as played on guitar (but it is played one octave lower on guitar). It is important to get the right rhythm when playing this. Count fast 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2 and the melody notes falls on the 1s.This can be played in any style.
2. Then a clawhammer version where I have tried to get the calypso rhythm. Be sure to get the drop thumb and the skips (air brushes) right to keep the rhythm. Your hand shall be moving in a steady up and down motion as in most clawhammer tunes, but the emphasized drop thumbs and skips will get the calypso rhythm effects.
3. And finally a three-finger version based on a simple forward roll. I think this is much easier than the clawhammer version because the forward roll fits into the calypso rhythm.

The B part of the tunes gets 'up the neck' but don't be put off as the picked notes are all in the chord shapes for Bb and Eb.

Notes: This arrangement of the classic song by John Hartford is based on a video by Mike Iverson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF7ZecJyvic. (Cut and paste the link into a browser.) Mike plays the song in B (capo 4), but this tab is in open G. This tab uses a lot of syncopation via m-skips (or ghost strokes followed by drop thumb). Mike is a talented and generous performer and teacher who offers lessons and workshops in Utah and online: www.banjoutah.com.

Notes: Here is a well known pop tune from the teens by George Cohan, "Give My Regards To Broadway". I have it arranged here in the key I found in a book of piano tunes, and it is a good key for the tune. Has a whole lot of inside, square (un-syncopated) rolls. Has a single string lick, and the ending is a great Don Reno "rake" ending, used on such tunes as his (Rural Rhythm) recording of "Limehouse Blues". Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: I tabbed this as a hybrid between a melodic, stand-alone arrangement and a backing track for singing along. The melody, though not exactly rhythmically true to the Led Zeppelin original, is pretty apparent throughout the arrangement, with the secondary bridge ("Seems that the wrath of the Gods...") section being the most notable exception. Overall key is D, so I tuned the fifth string to a. It's a little bite-y at the beginning to my ear, but I believe the arrangement as a whole works much better with the a. I hope y'all enjoy it, and constructive criticism and advice is most welcome!

Notes: Since I'm not convinced that I'm "done" with the song yet, I'm asking for input. How might someone else play it, or how might the existing structure be improved? Please let me know what you think.
The song uses a "simplified" version of the original chord progression (Neil Young played Em7 chords often, whereas I have simply replaced many of them with Em chords because I couldn't figure out a way to make it sound as good on the banjo).

Notes: I think Elvis sang it in Bflat but here I've tabbed it in C with standard open G tuning.
I think a beginner can handle this. (I consider myself a beginner). I'm including 3 files:
1. A tabledit tef file (include lyrics to first verse)
2. PDF tab (includes lyrics to first verse)
3. PDF Lyrics with chords
I think the melody is easy to pick out so I think you could modify this to any style of playing easily.

Notes: Pretty straightforward. The only comment I would make is that the 8th notes directly after the 8th rests should be played with the thumb (i.e. drop thumb). All the other notes follow the basic bum-ditty intuition in terms of forefinger and thumb use.

Notes: Tossed out this morning in response to a request for it. Largely melodic style Errors may and probably are included, and there may be easier ways to play it than written here. Note: in segments like Measure 14, where you see the fourth, third, second and first string played sequentially, the way to handle that is with a square roll (T-I-T-M).

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 is a clawhammer version of the film song "Never On A Sunday" from 1960. I have tried to make clawhammer interpretations of the Bouzouki parts (intro and ending) based on the bouzouki playing but adapted to clawhammer banjo. Sometimes there is a break in the middle, and the intro or ending may be used for the break too.

Notes: This is from the Muppet Show where my friend Kermit is singing the tune. Rainbow Connection is a tricky tune because it has a key change in the middle, where the orginal key is raised a halt tone. Here the tune starts in C major but in the second half there is a raise to Db major or C#major. I think the original goes in A major and raises to Bb major.

Notes: This a a tab of Bill Hailey' Rock Around Clock.
The song was written by Max C. Freedman och James E. Myers around 1952 and first recorded by and recorded by Bill Hailey in April 1954 on Decca. It was first recorded by Italian-American band Sonny Dae and His Knights on March 20, 1954, and Haley recorded it the first time April 12, 1954.
The song is an easy 12 bar blues and it is rather easy to play back up- just follow a boogie-woogie pattern or a 12 bar blues pattern, and it is easy to improvise around the tune.
This tab contains the main melody and some suggestions for variations following the main melody. It is some kind of three-finger with some easy Scruggs licks. I also included banjo versions of the guitar breaks. The tab (TablEdit and midi files) contains a simple guitar back-up.
- The first verse is simply the melody.
- The second verse is a up-the-neck variation of the melody where I tried to incorporate some basic threefinger rolls-.
- The first solo break is based on the guitar break but transferred to banjo to make it easier.
- The third verse is a more chordal version with melody and back-beat chords on the banjo. This variation sounds good even without guitar back-up.
- The fourth verse is simply a repetion of the second verse, because I had no inspiration to develop it further.
- The second solo break is is based on the guitar break but transferred to banjo to make it easier. It is mostly based on chords and follows a typical 12 bar blues.
- The fifth verse is a variation of the first verse but with more rolls and three-finger licks incorporated.

Notes: Had this song going through my head so I decided to tab my own arrangement out with my morning coffee.
Pay attention to the syncopation at the beginning and throughout the song where noted. You can see where the syncopation changes are in the TablEdit Tab.
Did not bother with the break since it would be just a generic G-C-G-D-G riff. Since this is done in a bluegrass style, I ended it with just a simple tag ending.
Enjoy.

Notes: An old standard, covered by the Country Gentlemen (Eddie Adcock) and before them, Les Paul. I tried to incorporate some of the iconic (to me) parts, whether it be Waller's chromatic guitar riff, Duffy's opening mando notes and quasi-bendy thing, Adcock's single string work, or Ben Eldridge's Scruggsy break. There is also a scalar descending thing from Bela, some of my own musings, and Les Paul's dramatic ending. Have fun with it, and make it your own!

** Additional note [Xmas 2020] **
I wrote the original tab for this in 2006 when I hadn't been playing long. It consequently had a few fingering errors, so I have just updated it, making it easier to finger, hopefully without losing any of the essence of the tune. I have made a short video of it, which you can view on this site or via YouTube here:

Notes: This clawhammer tab is based on the cover of the Tom Petty song, "Wildflowers," by the Wailin' Jennys. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XhVILjWkNg )The level is beginner/intermediate. They play the tune in the key of B, using open-G tuning (gDGBD) capoed to the 4th fret. I indicate the chord shapes for G tuning. The actual chords for G, C and D7 capoed would be B, E and F#7. This tab is based on the banjo introduction and can be used to back up the vocal, though strumming chords works as well. The mid-song instrumental breaks follow a different pattern.

Notes: This is a tune I picked up within the last 20 years and came up with an ever-evolving banjo version. I never tried to emulate
any particular version of this tune nor have I tried to emulate a drop-thumb approach. My brain doesn't work like that.
My approach is to simply play the tune in a Scruggs-based style which works just fine. In writing this tab I realized
that I rarely play the tune the same way twice and pull from a body of licks on-the-fly as I play it.
So, in this tab you will see I offer several variations for the same phrases which appear throughout the tune. This is a fun tune to play and I've noticed over the years that it's becoming more commonplace, part of a growing shared repertoire at jams and get-togethers.
