    The Earl Scruggs Banjo Songbook: Selected Banjo Tab Accurately Transcribed for Over 80 Tunes

    MILWAUKEE — Hal Leonard Publishing has announced the release and availability of The Earl Scruggs Banjo Songbook: Selected Banjo Tab Accurately Transcribed for Over 80 Tunes, with Foreword by Jim Mills.

    Every banjo player, from novice to professional, learns more about their craft by studying the playing of Earl Scruggs as well as by reading his best-selling method book Earl Scruggs and the 5-String Banjo. Hal Leonard is proud to announce a new songbook authorized by the Scruggs' estate that follows the same notation format of his renowned method book.

    The Earl Scruggs Banjo Songbook features 84 carefully selected and accurately transcribed songs spanning his entire recording career, many of which have never previously appeared in print. In addition to Scruggs' standards, it includes tablature for many songs not available on any of the Flatt & Scruggs commercial recordings, but that they often performed live.

    The collection contains tab for Earl's banjo breaks, intros, and tags, plus complete banjo instrumental transcriptions. It also includes recording references and tuning and capo info for each piece. GRAMMY AwardŽ-winning banjo player Jim Mills provides the foreword.
