The Jerry Book isn’t only for fans of Jerry Garcia’s banjo playing with Old & In The Way. It’s also a master class in Scruggs style backup playing.
I’ve spent countless hours transcribing Jerry’s banjo playing and this book is the culmination of those efforts.
As you can see from the contents page, the book includes all of the songs from the original Old & In The Way album as well as Old & In The Way Breakdown from the bootleg: The Boarding House, San Francisco, CA. 7/23/73
Package includes eBook in PDF format (104 pages). Links to download the 39 MP3 files as well as all 39 tabs in TablEdit format. Instantly delivered to your email upon order completion.
This tune is a lot of fun to play backup on due to the arbitrary nature of the accompanying chords. The whole first page of this arrangement is an example of the kind of rolling backup that Scruggs used on Fiddle & Banjo tunes that he played with long time fiddler, Paul Warren.

Another timeless melody that Earl makes his own. This one is trickier to play than it sounds and offers some insightful left-hand patterns and positions.

This song is often the first tune folks learn in D tuning. It’s fairly simple, but has some really cool licks and is a great jam tune to stretch out on for a while.

Pike County Breakdown – Jam-Track from The Session Book.
One of the greatest jam tunes ever. Some players like to add F and C chords to the accompaniment but I’ve kept the traditional two-chord approach here. As for the single-string lick, I use my thumb and index but rumor has it Earl used a forward roll. Thumb and middle is another option as well.
