Abstract:
Earl Scruggs pioneered, perfected and popularized a three-fingers banjo-picking style that came to be known around the world as Scruggs-style picking. He passed away in 2013 at age 88, but he lives on through his many recordings and a new museum in Shelby, North Carolina called the Earl Scruggs Center. This article provides a biography of Scruggs, and some of the galleries and exhibits showcased at the new museum.
