Introduction to 3/4 Time Waltz Banjo 

Very nice. Nothing's sweeter than a waltz. You showed us several ways.

You are so easy on the eyes. Oh, and please, more waltzes! Thank you for all your videos!!

Try Amazon Grace in waltzes time! It works for me. Thanks Clifton!

You are a great banjo teacher! I've played guitar all my life but just added banjo to my show three weeks ago. You are helping me learn songs quickly.

Thanks Clifton yes more waltzes !

id love more waltz videos as well :) thank you for all your videos and knowledge sharing!

Damn Clifton you are nothing but good...I always get some great pointers on my 2 finger plying.Thanks so much.

thank u . great lessons .

Great staff

Dang my cousin had me check you out, this channel and your music is so good! I'm learning a ton. And I'm super interested in seeing a 2 finger blues video!

Banjo blues too. Thanks

Yes we want more waltzes man!!!

The way you play Rye Whiskey is pure brilliance! A lot of country music stars have made a lot of money playing waltz style songs.

Would love to learn more waltz’s from you!

Yes please do more waltzes!

More walts Mr. Hick. Please. Thank you

Doing the waltz time in clawhammer

Hi Clifton,, The problem I always found with waltz time was having to sacrifice in parts the 3/4 underlining rhythm to play the melody and then returning to the beat again..making it sound broken...what I discovered was playing ( bum ditty bum)(bum ditty bum) allows me to do both..like a soldier never breaking step..the melody always staying on top of a constant 3/4 beat...no breaks sounding fluid..I know its simple but works for me...now I am waiting to get shot down by everyone.but if this helps someone out there cool..Jackdaw

This banjo sounds so warm..i have a really nice deering banjo but its so damn loud sometimes hahah

👍👍

Great,,,,tuning please.

Could you play Groundhog 2 fingered banjo at about half speed so that I can hear the sound of each note, perhaps each verse separately. Thank you (great tuition)

Im just learning to play and looking for some easy/easier songs to play. do you have any suggestions and do you have the any tabs for this one? I love this song

So you are allowed to use your thumb on the second string sometimes ;) @3:52

What tuning are you in?

Are there tabs?

Do you ever play the 4 string tenor banjo?

Excellent presentation on 3/4 time. Ive been addicted to clawhammer for over 60 years and just learned a few new things from this video. Other ways to play 3/4 time is 'Round Peak' clawhammer technique employing 'alternate string pull offs' and/or 'Galax Licks' (2-3 string slow arpeggios), ... or 'jig toggling' (6/8 time) where you 'pick' a full note below the 'target' note with your finger then hammer-on the target note usually with the third finger and finish the target note with a quick pull off to an open string from the second/target note --- good for 'highly ornamented' Celtic clawhammer and 'vital' for playing the fast jigs. Rx: use a pull off or alternate string pull off for the '1,2,3' sequence. These methods are best if you center your notes/chords around the fifth fret ... as the strings will be 'more stretchy', especially for alternate string pull offs. Centering on the 5th fret also doubles the availability of cordal patterns .... on the lower strings but with the second string used as your 'lead' string (instead of the first string) and with less hand/finger stretch to the 'higher' cords/notes.

good player yerrible teacher
