Here's my arrangement of Lafayette from the playing of Kirk McGee and Arthur Smith found on the Slippery Hill site. It was a popular dance tune on the Grand Old Opry back in the days.

Key of A and played on a vintage (circa 1930's) short scale 5 string with bare fingers in old time two finger style.

This arrangement of Big Mon mixes melodic, Scruggs, and single-string approaches.

A song we used to play with the Rough & Ready Fruit Jar Pickers. Here's the 3-finger solo I worked out at the time.
