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: As played by Earl Scruggs, recorded in 1958. Earl departed from his usual rolls in this short break, which he traded with the fiddle and dobro. Instead, he played most of the break in single-string style. It is exceedingly simple and stunningly effective. The song is in waltz time, with the capo on the first fret -- or perhaps Flatt and Scruggs tuned up their instruments a half step, as they tended to do in their earlier recordings. And, yes, the break comprises only 4 measures (thanks to Ken for asking!).

Notes: "The Popular Folio" copes with jazz classics, which are very comfortable to play on the tenor banjo. Useful for a band-banjoist or a solist you can play these tunes in every occasion. These are the songs: Ain't She Sweet, Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me, Carry Me Back, Chinatown, Dill Pickles Rag, Dinah, I Miss A Little Miss, I Whish't I Was In Peoria, Ice Cream, Ida, In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree, Jazz Me Blues, Linger Awhile, Margie Medley, Nola, Petite Fleur, Rose Of Washington Square, Temptation Rag, The Teddy Bear's Picnic and When You're Smiling. Here you can look inside the book and enjoy the solo of "I Miss A Little Miss".
As always you have piano accompaniments (2 CDs) in three different speed levels for each tune.

Notes: I hope this is readable. I just wrote it out and photographed the tab on the kitchen table. The 5th string doesn't sound too good in the D section against the D chord, so I avoided it. If you want to add it, play it very softly. I'm not sure what 2 keys Johnny used, but it definitely needs a key change of some sort.
The site will only allow me to put one key, but I've given you both G and D.

Notes: Here is a tab I worked out for this beautiful song; its prety simple, with the same 2 themes being repeated on different strings. Still, I tried to include the different themes in the tab, and labeled them. If you want to hear how it sounds, you can listen to my mp3, where I am playing with a capo on the first fret, and my 5th string tuned to g#. I hope the tab isn't confusing, but it should get you playing the song! Enjoy...

Notes: I Wish You Knew is a classic by Jim and Jesse and the Virginia Boys, with a stellar banjo break by the great Allen Shelton. The break contains ones of Shelton's signature licks, in measure 13, and it illustrates his renowned bouncy style, as can be seen in measures 4 through 7. If you listen to the original recording by Jim and Jesse, you will hear lots of Shelton's tasty backup, including licks influenced by the pedal steel, which also show up in Bill Keith's playing. Jim and Jesse recorded it in the key of B, and so my tab is in B.

Notes: This is my interpretation of Don Stover's version of I Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home, which he recorded with the Lilly Brothers. It reveals many aspects of his bouncy/punchy style, including repeated pinches and hammer-ons in the C (IV) chord. Compare Stover's break to Bill Keith's, which I have also posted in the Tab Archive.

Notes: Bill Monroe often had Del McCoury sing I Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home when McCoury was Monroe's lead singer and guitarist, in 1963. Of relevance to BHO, Bill Keith was the banjo player of the day in the Blue Grass Boys. Several concert recordings of Keith's version with Monroe are floating around, and I have combined 2 of his breaks to give you a feel for his approach to the tune. Pay particular attention to measures 14 through 17, where Keith dishes out a tasty melodic take on the A (II) to D (V) chords, a section that alone is worth the price of admission.

Notes: During the discussion in summer 2009 about whether it really was Earl playing on the radio recording of "I'll Fly Away" that was posted on BHO, one BHO member suggested that the rest of us post our versions of the song. Being a cooperative person, I posted a recent version of mine, and this is the tablature for it, more or less. My version incorporates a little bit of a salute to the mystery player we have all agonized about -- and if you saw the video of Earl playing "I'll Fly Away" at Nat Winston's, you will probably agree that the mystery player on the tape is indeed Earl Scruggs. Also, near the end, it includes a tip of the hat to Bill Keith.

Notes: My attempt at "I'll Fly Away" as played in the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou". This tab is in Sawmill tuning (G Modal). I capo up 2 and play in the key of C (C Modal?) which puts it into the key of D Modal, if that makes any sense. It's a simplified variation of the tab by David Marshall located @ http://www.hangoutstorage.com/banjohangout.org/storage/tabs/i/tab-ill-fly-away-11989-211438102009.jpg
which he tabbed in Double C (Double D with capo). I've also included a link to the "Oh Brother" version in D that can be played along with to get the timing and melody, and added a page 2 for the measure pattern to play and the complete lyrics.
I will attach this to the Gospel Lover's group and Beginner Clawhammer group.

This version has a little syncopated sound that starts in measure 3. Once I started playing it like that, it has stuck. Enjoy! - I have no idea why the pdf gets turned sideways during upload.

Notes: This is one of Jim and Jesse's gems, recorded in the late 1950s, as far as I can tell, with Bobby Thompson on banjo. Thompson's break is straightforward and driving. My version is similar to his, although I have added a few embellishments, including the chorus.

Notes: The first break is close to Earl Scruggs's classic recording. The next two breaks are variations that give some idea of how one can improvise around the melody.

Notes: Here is a gem from the Flatt and Scruggs canon. Several different banjo players have recorded excellent versions, including Earl Scruggs, Bill Keith, and J. D. Crowe. The tab is my version and comprises two breaks. The first break is down the neck and is the melody of the verse, which is the standard way of playing the song. The second break starts out up the neck, with the melody of the verse, and then goes down the neck for the melody of the chorus. I first worked this version out in the 1970s and still play it this way. I guess I am not very imaginative.

Notes: A Bill Monroe classic, recorded when Earl Scruggs with in the band. I wonder whether Monroe had this in mind as a vehicle for Earl's "fancy banjo" when he wrote the tune. I have tabbed out two breaks. The first sticks close to the melody, although I did throw in a little melodic sequence at the end. The second break is more out there and includes a high part that I really like, as well as an ending that you may find useful in other songs.

Notes: Here is a try to make a clawhammer version of Bill Monroe's "I'm Going Back To Old Kentucky" (I think it was first recorded in 1949). I have verse and chorus with banjo following the melody, and I added a more advanced banjo break. G tuning with capo on 2nd fret, since Bill Monroe recorded it in the key of A.
In TablEdit I put the tempo to BMP = 250. Bill Monroe played more att 300 BPM, but I have heard other slower versions too.

Notes: This is a great old tune by Reno and Smiley. I have tabbed out two up-the-neck breaks. The first sticks pretty close to the melody; the second departs a bit and includes some licks that you might find useful in a variety of tunes. If you go to the Music section on my BHO web page, you will find a track of this song, from a practice tape by my band Silver Spring, recorded in Vancouver, B.C., in the mid-1970s. The second break in the tablature is the one on the track. On the recording, we played in A; so just capo up 2 and play it as tabbed in G. Note that the last D chord is a bit tricky, because it involves alternating the index and middle fingers while picking the first string. Although difficult, the lick is worth mastering, because you can use it in lots of tunes. The melody in the lick is played on the first string and involves a descending melodic sequence (D --> C --> B --> A --> G) embedded in a repetitive rhythmic pattern, as follows, with the melody string IN CAPITALS: ONE--three--two--one--ONE--three--two-one---ONE-three--two--one, and so on.

Notes: Bill Monroe wrote this "true" song about revisiting his childhood home on Jerusalem Ridge in Kentucky. It is a good song for the banjo, and I have tabbed 3 breaks. The first stays close to the melody, and the others improvise a bit.

Notes: This tab is based on the version by Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K0BHVn7N7E . They play the tune in the key of B. Capo at the fourth fret to match their key. This tab tries to capture some of the banjo licks in the intro, so the brushes appear in some unusual places (e.g., 3rd beat). Simplify the arrangement to suit your taste.

Notes: This tab is more or less the basic break as played by Don Reno on Don Reno, Founding Father of the Bluegrass Banjo, CMH-Records, 2001. Originally the tune appears in the key of A. I am using a capo on the second fret and I am aware the fact, that Don Reno didn't. However: The best way to figure out a tune is to play along with the record.

Notes: I’ve Lost You is a song recorded by Flatt and Scruggs on 9 May 1951, with Chubby Wise on fiddle and Everett Lilly on mandolin and tenor vocals. It is one of the rare songs the Foggies did with a mandolin break (in their consistent determination not to sound like Bill Monroe!). Earl’s banjo break is lovely and elegant, and this is my interpretation/approximation of it. Note the interesting way he played the D chord in measures 8 and 9.

Notes: This is my arrangement of this early jazz tune by Stuff Smith and popularized by the likes of Fats Waller in the 1930s and 40s. I learned this tune 40+ years ago and kind of forgot about it until it came up in a thread recently on BHO. I was working on a video demonstration to go with this until my camera decided it didn't want to cooperate anymore so until I figure that out this will have to do. It's a fun tune to play ... especially if you can find like minded musicians :)

Notes: Tom Hanway has this well known tune in his great book but i find it hard to play! So this is my version. the A section is single string style, every bar the same, the B part is my varied with the right hand but no hard stretches

I tried to convert midi parts in banjo tab, not so easy, this arrangement has banjo harmony and play in key of G and A.
Left hand and right hand fingerings are not included, many ways to play that tune and I don't want to influence you !

Notes: This is a difficult tune in some ways, it was really not easy at all to force it into Tab. It may or may not be crooked in the traditional sense but it's crooked on the inside. I expect this tune will be very difficult to understand without hearing it played. Good luck.

Notes: A simple thumb-lead two finger arrangement of a well-known melody, good for beginners who are still learning the style. The fretting is fairly simple, so one can concentrate on the finger picking. You don't need to make chords, just fret individual strings as they are played. The numbers above the tab are how I would break the song into bite-size sections to memorize in sequence, rather than struggling to memorize the whole thing at once, or forever relying on the tab.
Style: Bluegrass (Scruggs)

Notes: A great John Reischman tune. This was influenced by the playing of Old Cremona (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PjyDnSc2_c) and Lluís Gómez (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y4zRCNDVZQ). The B section timing is not true to the Mandolin version but it is playable. The Reischman version goes up an octave on the last A part which I elected not to do. I added an alternative melodic ending similar to Old Cremona's version at the end.
