Still green in the world of transcribing banjo tunes, I decided to take on the challenge. YouTube only offered the recording by the Nashville Bluegrass Band. After hearing this on the radio, I quickly perused the Hangout for the tab but only found someone’s request for it. Notes: If you’re looking for a fun tune that combines melodics, single string, and a swing feel, look no further than Alan O’Bryant’s Big Cow in Carlisle. You can find Keith's recording of it on his 1992 CD "Beating Around the Bush," which should be in every bluegrass banjo player's collection. The second break is reminiscent of Bill Keith's version and includes some neat ideas. The first break resembles the way Shelton played BTS, but it is not note-for-note. I have tabbed it so you can play it without D tuners, although I have indicated above the tab the proper moves if you have tuners. I read somewhere that he wrote it when he was a teenager, an indication of how talented he was. Bending the Strings is a clever original piece by Shelton, and one that involves the use of Keith/Scruggs tuners. It was a thrill to see him with Jim and Jesse at the University of Chicago Folk Festival in 1966, where he wowed the audience (and me) with his banjo prowess. Notes: Along with Earl Scruggs and Bill Keith, Allen Shelton was one of my major influences and inspirations when I was learning to play bluegrass banjo.

Likewise, he almost exclusively uses the right hand pattern of "I T I." when starting a phrase before the bar line, with an odd number of notes. Bela almost exclusively adhere's to the right hand pattern of "T I T I." (Thumb, Index, Thumb, Index) when starting on the beat, or when starting a phrase before the bar line, with an even number of notes. Make sure the MIDI "Swing" setting is set to "1" to make the audio sound correct. The patterns will stand out more clearly. NOTE: The file is designed to be viewed at 4 bars per line, so you should expand the Tabledit window to achieve this. This tab is for the 2nd of the two performances. Then, he goes on to play 2 more improvised performances, telling the viewer to "just listen and take what you can" from these fancier licks that he would use if he were to actually perform the tune. Notes: In Bela Fleck's Homespun video, he provides a tab for only the basic melody for Sammy's Blues.
