If you want to learn the first break, here's another tab (not mine), that's good to check out:

Notes: Such a great recording of Bugle Call Rag - I can't stress enough how cool it is!

Russ takes the Scruggs vocabulary we know and love and keeps it fresh and exciting with clever syncopation and wonderful delivery!
Don't take the annotations on the tab to seriously - while it helps to bend the 2-3 slides and make certain parts real greasy, I really just put em' in for a little fun.
Enjoy!

Notes: This tune is pretty crazy! I have the first and second breaks in here, and they're loaded with Single String, syncopation, and the usual genius we can expect from Scott Vestal.
The fingerings are from this video:

But I added another way to play the last lick, since my 14-year old hands don't come anywhere close to making that reach.

Notes: Hey Folks!
Here's a killer Noam solo off of his most recent project with the new band "Mighty Poplar". The whole record's wonderful through and through, but AGACNP sent me a request for this tune specifically, and I think it's a great solo.
There's one little section where the fingerings are iffy, so I put a couple alternate options down at the bottom.
Tabledit's been a bit weird with exporting to pdfs recently, so you'll see a couple staves being weird on the side of the pdf - luckily it doesn't screw with the tab if you can manage to ignore it.
Enjoy!

Here's AB Junior's video the tab is based off of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEHmVUN_REM
I included both breaks he plays, and for singing, any roll that fits within the chords will work fine. I tabbed it out like he played it, but if you have spikes, it sounds nice to spike at the 7th.
Have fun pickin!

Notes: All breaks of Alison Brown's shoot the dog! There's a lot of single string, time signature changes, and triplets in here, so good luck!

Notes: This banjo break is really stellar. It has some super Ron Block-y stuff in it, and he fills the solo with emotion and clarity:

Notes: This is the solo Tony Rice played with the Bluegrass Album Band for Your Love Is Like A Flower, but it's tabbed out for banjo! It's almost all single string and melodic, and when Tony went lower than the banjo could play, I brought the notes up an octave.
Have fun!
