Notes: The version of SSotM that Earl Scruggs played on is from a recording of an Opry radio broadcast in the late 1940s by Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys. Lester Flatt sang it as a solo number, and Scruggs took a lovely up-the-neck break. Note the transition from G to C in measures 5 and 16, wherein Scruggs seems to be playing a chromatic passage with the notes G - Eb - D - C. As far as I can tell, he picks Eb rather than E. Does this make Scruggs the Father of Chromatic Banjo? You be the judge. The recording I took this from can be found on youtube. Although the recording seems to be in the key Bb, I have tabbed it in the key of G.
