Notes: Here is a steel guitar ending that Allen Shelton frequently played on banjo. It became a part of the Jim & Jesse sound and was used by their later banjo players as well. If you just remember "1-4-1-5-1," you can use this in any major key. The timing is the same as most standard endings; only the chord progression in different.

Notes: 19 Mile Overhead is a tune I wrote in the 1970s, and you can find a recording of it, from a practice tape of that era, on the Media section of my BHO page. The tune is structured AABB, and you should capo up 2 to play it in the key of A. Note that in British Columbia “overheads” are highway bridges over railroad right-of-way, and 19 Mile Overhead is somewhere near Revelstoke, B.C. I’ll take a wild stab in the dark and guess that it is 19 miles from the town.

Notes: Clawhammer version of the 2ftl tab I posted. Originally by Charlie Parr. I typically do the ending bit (the last 3 measures) for another 2 measures before going in to another verse. I also sometimes substitute a regular D for the D7 near the end.
Charlie plays it (on guitar) with a capo on the 2nd fret so if you want to really sound like him that might be a good call.

Notes: This is a right hand fingering excercise. I created this when I noticed that some passages that are index or middle finger oriented were not coming out as neat and clean as thumb-led stuff. All the possible 4-note loopable groupings are written out here. In practice, you want to be able to play these on any strings, not just 1-3.

Notes: Here is an all time favorite. Thanks to Mike Iverson for tabbing this one. Mine is slightly different, I add drop-thumbs, but included the Mike Iverson alternate tabs. I've also included embedded links to Mike Iverson's banjo lesson mp3 and a link to the Bryan Bowers autoharp version (slightly different lyrics and definitely a different key). Mike Iverson Lyrics are shown.

Notes: The old fiddle tune, the 8th of January arranged for melodic style banjo. The first two breaks are exactly the same, and are in the melodic style with some slight variation on the melody. The third break presents an alternate way to play the melody, in single string style, as well as some more slight variations. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass backup track.

Notes: This is my attempt at transcribing Noam's solo break from this Punch Bros youtube video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8JA8AUnRxc
The solo comes in at 3:00 or so. I don't have Tabledit and did this in Sibelius so the slides/bends/etc. aren't as polished but you get the idea! Capo up to B to play with the video.
