We've put together tabs of some of our favorite flatpicking tunes and list these here for your picking pleasure. We've tried to select a variety of tunes, both well-known ones and those that are not so well known.

Eine Liste mit 50 Bluegrass Standards - ideal als Einstieg geeignet! * Bluegrass was invented in the US, more or less, and is played around the world. Vocal harmonies lie at the heart of bluegrass, along with a core set of bluegrass fiddle tunes. The 50 tunes listed below will be known (mostly) by good bluegrass players everywhere. Learning them will take a long time.. but all the good players have put in a similar effort to build their repertoires. Tabs (and audio) for some of the tunes are at Harmonica Academy, other good resources are Steve Kaufman's 4 hour bluegrass workout at Homespun Tapes and Bluegrassguitar.com
