The Earl Scruggs Banjo Songbook

The transcriptions were made by Adonai Booth, Pete Billmann, Jeff Jacobson, Ron Piccione et David Stocker, assisted by a Scruggs family friend, Bob Piekel.

A Hal - Leonard book.

The summary was well concieved, one version in alphabetical order, another one by key. Each transcription's audio source is  written.

This edition covers Scruggs career with Flatt and, for some titles, with Bill Monroe. Some scores were already in "Earl Scruggs and the 5-Strings banjo" first issued in 1968, reissued in 1992. Some of them were completed with the break or back-up parts transcribed from videos.

A great job especially in listening, writing and documentation.
