When I first started learning clawhammer a few years ago I listened to this video many times. I just listened to it again and it is still the most beautiful, sensitive playing I've heard. You have a wonderful touch and a great harmonic sense. But also, I noticed this time what a wonderful, relaxed groove you keep up. You are a true master.
I am an older banjo player. Started banjo because of arm problems with guitar. Started 2 finger playing and now want to learn that sweet claw hammer method. Your starter video is the best I’ve found. Thanks !
I believe this song / melody comes from the Civil War times. You can understand why. It is so soulful and and at the same time so beautiful. Thanks for posting.
Man this is truly such an incredible version of falls of Richmond. It’s insane how syncopated your right hand is while also embellishing perfectly and melodically. Shredding with insane precision and purpose, and beautiful to listen to.
Anyone know what the benefit of playing this tuning in open g is compared to sawmill ? it doesnt seem the b string was played open, just curious x This level of playing is only just starting to make sense to my eyes and ears
Any idea where one could get the TAB for this? I've fooled around with the tune playing in G but this is a lot nicer. Would love to be able to add this to my repertoire so having the TAB would be wonderful,
Very good lesson! I've played several years now but always enjoy going back to beginner status on these videos and always learn from them. I'm inclined to Pete Seeger type Folk Music so Claw Hammer playing is what's most useful for me as opposed to the rapid Bluegrass picking patterns which are wonderful also, but I don't find myself playing that type music as often. By the way as a history lesson for those interested it was Pete Seeger who first applied the term bum diddy to describe the rhythm of claw hammer playing in his 1947 Banjo Book.
Love it! Man...Lukas, your music hits on a different level for me. You're flair for clawhammer is what got me into it a few years back. Every time I get myself inspired to dig in a little more, I look up the latest from you, and it inspires me to keep chuggin' away! I wish I was better about practicing regularly, but I truly have you to thank for keeping me at it! Mesmerizing stuff my man!
