G run

In bluegrass and other music, the G run (G-run), or Flatt run^[1] (presumably after Lester Flatt), is a stereotypical ending used as a basis for improvisation on the guitar. It is the most popular run in bluegrass, the second being "Shave and a Haircut".^[1]

The best known version, above, is a slight elaboration of the simplest form, below.

$\relative c' { \time 4/4 \key g \major g4 [a8~ (ais8~)] [(b8) d8~ (e8) (d8)] | g4 r4 <d g b g'>4 r4 }$
