With so many clawhammer tutorials out there, we wanted to create one with our own spin. Barry Hunn has been teaching newcomers to the banjo for over 30 years and in this video you will start as a beginner and end with a firm foundation on basic clawhammer technique.
Once you have mastered this section, part two is just a click away.

Part 1: An Introduction to Clawhammer.
Introducing the new Goodtime Deco Series, a stunning tribute to the vibrant American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s when the banjo reigned as America's most beloved instrument.
Learning how to play the banjo is no different. There are different types of banjos and plenty of new terminology for parts of banjos and playing styles. Aspiring players also wonder what makes one banjo better than another.
Watch and listen to Deering artists play our banjos and choose your favorite tone!

Barry you made the lesson so easy to understand claw hammer. it is difficult sometimes for me as a senior to try to learn as there is so muchout there on internet it gets overwhelming .you are really great to learn from . thank you marlene
How cool is that! For years I’ve tried to figure out how to play claw hammer style. Barry makes it so simple to understand that I just might be able to do it. Thank you!
I’ve played the picking method for a year now and this is my first claw hammer lesson. Barry Hunn is great! I’ll practice the method this week to get my brain to accept the sequencing. Thank you very, very much! I do have a Deering banjo, BTW
By far best easiest lesson I have seen
Great job
