  Right Hand Man Banjo Tablature Book

This 39-page book contains banjo tablature transcribed from the Rounder CD "Right Hand Man". The tab arrangements make each tune easily recognizable on these melody-oriented bluegrass standards.

All of the tunes are in open G-tuning. While the titles will be familiar to most students, the arrangements provide an opportunity to add subtle and interesting variations to tunes you may already play. For example, Cumberland Gap and Fire Ball Mail, both based on Earl Scruggs' playing, receive a unique treatment on Right Hand Man.

Boil That Cabbage Down has an added third part that takes the tune into Em before passing it back to the fiddle.

From the slow triplets on Old Rugged Cross to the driving forward rolls on Bluegrass Breakdown, there's plenty of traditional bluegrass banjo playing to be learned from these 10 tunes.
