Beginner: Most are solos to vocal songs, which are easier to play because melody notes only occur two or three times per measure. A few easy fiddle tunes and banjo instrumentals are included. All arrangements in Scruggs style, all in first position, virtually all in the key of G and in G tuning. Very few hammers and pulls, but basic slides described in “Basic” definition are used. Unless otherwise noted, tablature arrangements are in Scruggs style.
