Snowdrop - Clawhammer Banjo 

If you're watching this and wondering how to play it do not hesitate to become a member his lesson video for this is amazingly helpful it's not just a note by note instruction he actually walks through the options. I've only been playing a month but just in the first five minutes of watching this video stuff is clicking like it hasn't before. I swear I'm not a shill 😂

Easily the best version of this tune I've ever heard. You're a freaking great clawhammer player. Setting out to learn this tune and will be stealing as much of this as possible.

I return to this video occasionally when I need a reminder that humans possess beauty and creativity. Thank you!

That's a lovely tune. I'm awaiting the arrival of my first ever banjo. I hope one day to play this well. 😊

Wow! Masterful and inspiring.

They say the Angels of Heaven play their music on Harps, music like this makes me think it's probably on banjo's...... beautiful music Lukas, Thanks you.

I'm 54 years old and bought a Banjo 5 weeks ago as I've always wanted to try and learn to play, I initially was learning to play Earl Scruggs style until I watched this video. I've now switched to clawhammer because you play this so beautifully & I'd love to get to this stage in the future. I'm going to subscribe to your online learning shortly but I'm in the UK and I'm unsure if I can. Thank You for this video.

I first saw this video a few years ago when I first started learning clawhammer banjo. Since then I have tried and given up repeatedly to learn your version, revisiting it every year or so to give it another shot. Im finally to the point where I can finally play through it, albeit a very rough rendition of the song. Hopefully in a couple more years I'll be able to play it as well as you. Thank you for the continued inspiration!

Triplet strums are a great touch best version of this I've heard

I've watched this video about 50 times. Never gets old. So good

Agree with Mullaly- best version I've ever heard. Wish you,lived next door so you could teach it to me! Your rhythm is amazing!

The B part especially is some of the loveliest clawhammering I've ever heard.

Beautiful tune and beautiful banjo.

I love your arrangements and your soulful playing Lukas. Always a pleasure to listen to you play,

This is the perfect tune for your style. Incredible drop thumbing. Flawless.

Truly a treat to behold this music from your artistic mind.

I’ve rewatched this about 15 times - absolutely beautiful playing.

This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Just beautiful!

Beautiful finesse on the strings and your ear for melody is one of the best I've heard. This is the way I like to hear banjo. Great performance.

This is so beautiful.

This tune has convinced me to buy a banjo and learn clawhammer so i can take a stab at picking it one day. Fantastically beautiful.

I love your playing. Been saving a lot of yours and Eden's tunes on my favorites list. Love Eden"s fiddling too. Now I just noticed your harmony on the B part. I always did that by playing with someone else. Cool. tunes

Oh Gawd! I do want that banjo….. the moon inlay broken the camels back…. Lovely tune and well played.

Amazing playing, really soothing! :)

really close to being actual magic

so fkn beautiful, brings a tear to my eye!

Nice

Aw this is wonderful. Love the backdrop. Where was this filmed ?

Cool

This song remind me new world symphony of Dvorak second movement.

How long did it take to get to that level of playing?

Beautiful tone to your instrument-wish I could see a close-up of the "Man in the Moon" inlay though.

nice

Incrível

re-watching this for the 1000th time and I am still in complete ore of your exceptional and beautiful playing. Do you have any of your music recording online anywhere?

Is there tab available for this?

Wooooooo

This is fanatic. Do you offer a lesson and tab on it via your website and subscription?

Clawhammer banjo looks like brazilian viola caipira (10 strings country acoustic guitar) old school playing. There's a famous brazilian musician, Almir Sater, that plays the viola caipira almost like that. But, instead of "hummer" the strings with the back of the nail, he pull out them with the nails and fingers. I'm gonna put the Almir Sater link here, so you can compare.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qoaPKXdO-oQ.html

Very nice. Is this tune in double C or did you tune the first string up to an E?

Awesome playing man!! Superb.. Just one question. Apart from the regular clawhammer with double thumbing, do you ever pluck the string with the index finger on its way up after the initial down-pluck? Or is it the hammer ons and pull offs that I hear that way? This playing is so fast I keep wondering whether there is a component like that..?

Yes, what tone ring?

What kind of headstock is on that banjo?

are you using nylon strings?

What tone ring is in this Banjo?

What kind of tone ring does this banjo have?

What kind of open back are you playing?

where can i learn how to play i’ve had a banjo for so long but i make very very very little progress

beautiful banjo tune. Are you in sawmill tuning? Nice drop thumbing too...

I THINK I see some upstrokes by the index or middle finger. Any way, which way your interpretation is great. I'm a scrugg's who started on old time. I'm starting reviewing songs such as Snow Drop. Again, well done...

Big views

Can I get the tuning? Awesome btw

8 people must be into pickin' and frownin'..

Yoo

That scoop is called a Texas Scoop because it mimics the curves in the Rio Grande. Why not, kinda a cool name. Oh, and by the by, a *very*nice* "dance of the hands"! Love it.

Sorry. Tuning???? Thanks

I'm not hearing picks only fingernails an flesh I not able to see very well.
