Hal Leonard’s The Earl Scruggs Banjo Songbook is a new songbook authorized by the Earl Scruggs’ estate that follows the same notation format of his renowned method book Earl Scruggs and the 5-String Banjo. The Earl Scruggs Banjo Songbook features 84 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 Award-winning banjo player Jim Mills provides the foreword. Songs include “Bugle Call Rag,” “Duelin’ Banjos,” “Foggy Mountain Breakdown,” “I Saw The Light,” “Roll In My Sweet Baby’s Arms,” “When The Angels Carry Me Home” and more.
