Notes: Here's every 2 Octave Major scale and the famous Lester Flatt bluegrass lick in every key with backup music to play with. Master the first section in the key of A before moving to the A#/Bb section.
You will be moving up one key at a time using the same fingerings as the section before. When you start the scales beginning on the third string you need to do some maneuvering to play the 2 octave scale. To play a one octave scale start on any note on the fourth, third, or second strings and use the first half of the pattern for the A scale.

Notes: The "pig's foot" doesn't belong to a pig at all. It refers to a piece of iron used as a blacksmith's tool. This is a fun tune that many beginners should be able to pick up pretty quick. The PDF File contains the fiddle tab and notation. Enjoy!

Notes: This has become a staple in my sets, especially with the "old" folks.
Although it is generally played in Am our band does it in Bm. If you are wanting to play in AM just cross tune GCgd and use the same fingering.
You will see notation for 2 guitars. This is how our band plays it.
