“Clucking” Technique For Clawhammer Banjo - FREE Video Lesson 

I’ve always got more coming!

I used to strike with my middle finger and sort of happened upon clucking by the way my ring and pinky fingers naturally fell. At some point I switched back to my index finger (don’t remember when or why) and felt like I lost it. I try to think of it like this: my striking finger hits melody notes and is not part of the cluck. I cluck with my middle and ring fingers by *slightly* tilting my hand forward so that those fingers hit and my index misses. The important part starting out is finding your sweet spot(s)! The next step is knowing when to do it. It takes a long time to work it into songs you already know but it can really take your playing to a whole new level.

I appreciate the feedback. Are you able to be more specific? Seeing as it’s an instructional, most of what I am doing is explaining and talking. I’ve been working on tightening up these videos as I can have a tendency to go off in the weeds.
