Home Sweet Home


     This is a little picking on Earl Scruggs' "Home Sweet Home".  

     First pass through I keep pretty close to the Scruggs recording and second time through I throw in a bit of a descending single string lick.  

     You can't really improve on what Scruggs did but I enjoy picking around and seeing what I come up with.

New Recording of the Bourree from J.S. Bach's Cello Suite #3




I arranged this Bourree for solo banjo and recorded it with the great Dave Gannett. You can listen to the recording HERE.

It is in C tuning (gCGBD)and the cellists I listened to played it largely with an impassioned sensitivity which I tried my best to replicate on an instrument not best known for its sensitivity.

If you would like to try playing it here is the tablature...
