Notes: Here is an example of using what I call a "cheater D position" in G tuning to provide accompaniment. Hold your index finger down on the third string, second fret and use the D string as your drone instead of the fifth string. Check out the tab and try to sing along and you'll see what I mean.

Notes: Here is an old Austrian March-turned-country instrumental, "Under The Double Eagle", arranged for Banjo solo (with accompaniment). I have included all the original parts (to my knowledge) in this version, with an intro and 4 parts. The intro and first 2 parts are in C, the 3rd part is in F, and the 4th part is in Bb, ending with a repeat of the 2nd part (in C). This is arranged in a Reno style, although not a tablature of his playing of the tune (which he did admirably!). It's fairly difficult, as one would expect with the key changes. Has a Rhythm Guitar & Bass rhythm track. Have fun!

Notes: A favorite by Ola Belle Reed. I tried to capture what I could of her rendition. I have also posted a somewhat simplified version as a separate tab. I posted a video of me playing this version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pBetltUW48s

Notes: This is a somewhat simplified version of how Ola Belle Reed played it. I've tried to retain some of the essence of her approach while eliminating some of the more challenging maneuvers. I have also posted a tab that is a more literal capture of how OBR played this song.

Notes: My first attempt at tabbing anything! I only have the demo version of Tabledit, so no midi file. Have fun with it!

Notes: Inspired by Richard Hefner's website (EZfolk), this simplified version of Up on the Housetop (Rooftop) is one of my favorite Christmas tunes for the banjo. It's very bouncy and Christmassy. I've linked some of Richard's music files to play along with. Links to Christmas Corner.
