This arrangement for John Hardy is a transcription of his playing from the "Strictly Instrumental" album he made with Flatt & Scruggs and Doc Watson. This is the opening break of the tune.


Listen. Read. Do that each time before you play. Analyze. What rolls is he using? Do you hear or see standard licks? This is important. It gives you insight into how Earl thought. It also helps you recognize hard sections or unfamiliar "language" that might need extra study and practice. Listening also helps you to internalize and maybe even memorize the song and licks.
