Early Banjo Stroke Style

This is the laboratory for a beginning manual of Stroke Style play. All text and music are works in progress.

The songs are not in a progressive order yet. What score is the best to read-Tab and music right on top of each other with fingerings in between staves (as in Jim Along Josey), or tab and the original score at the bottom of the page (the PDF files for Coon's Jig, Cuffee's, Shin Bone)?
