Before I Met You - Earl Scruggs: Backup & Lead

Back
  • Earl Scruggs: Backup & Lead
  • Key   G
  • Tempo   80 bpm
  • Tuning   gDGBD

This version of From Before I Met You is based on one of the lead breaks from a Flatt & Scruggs recording. In this break the fiddle & banjo "split" a lead. The fiddle plays first and then trades with the banjo. When you are playing the backup, try and control your "dynamics". Don't play too hard. Backoff your volume a bit. When it's time to play lead, step up and increase your dynamics some. The backup and lead section are marked in the tablature. Listen to the original recording to hear the break in context.
