Before I Met You - Earl Scruggs: Intro Backup

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

Here's some authentic Scruggs style backup for the kickoff of Before I Met You. This is very close to what Earl played behind the fiddle intro. While this is some excellent backup it could also be played as a lead intro.


Check out the licks for some Scruggs style variations and also some alternate fingerings. These will show you some options for your pick hand. Some of the double thumb, and double index riffs can be tough to play. While it's nice to play these in an authentic way, sometimes it's good to know your options and make the music a bit more "playable". All the alternate fingerings are listed in the lick tablature.
