I've been working on Bela's Scruggs style break of Polka on the Banjo. What a great song. It has several movements and I've only found tabs for the main break. I know Scruggs did a lot of up the neck background during the verses and chorus too. And then there is that odd (but very Polka-like) key change after the Chorus. I'm interested in what some of you who play this song do -- specifically, how do you start the song, what do you play during the verses and chorus, and (I assume) you play the basic break that Scruggs and Bela Fleck both do? And do you change keys?
