"Flowery Girls" tab
This is Matt Brown’s note-for-note transcription of Omer Forster’s index lead showpiece “Flowery Girls.” Brown mapped out Forster’s iconic 2:48 recording that inspired banjo pickers for decades. Make sure to listen to Forster play it! There are many superb, more modern performances to enjoy, but there is nothing quite like the original. In his recording, Forster is tuned down a half step, so his fifth string is an “f#” instead of a “g,” and his other strings are also one fret lower in pitch.
This tab is five pages long. It is played in the index lead, two-finger banjo style. Learn more about the tune here.
Difficulty level: somewhere between advanced and insane
