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.

So grab your banjo and enjoy.
Part 1: An Introduction to Clawhammer.
Each Artisan Goodtime model showcases a proprietary Midnight Maple fingerboard, ornate Artisan-inspired inlays, and a beautiful rich brown stain that exudes elegance. Artisan Goodtime banjos are also equipped with planetary banjo tuners, allowing for precise tuning and exceptional performance.
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!
Are you using the same finger for picking and strumming. Some people use 2 different ones
Yay!
Excellent tuition! I am in my 80’s and have just purchased a Feeling Banjo, started 4 years ago with a Ukulele. Unfortunately I have hurt my plucking hand hopefully it will get better soon! So I will spend time practising claw hammer without changing chords! Cheers

This is the BEST instructor and the BEST instruction on claw hammer that I have ever seen. It is explained very clearly and at a pace that I can do right now where I’m at with it. Other instructors and books go too fast and I get lost. do you have any instruction books on beginning claw hammer ?? tableture on claw hammer doesn’t make any sense and doesn’t evern sound like the song I’m trying to play , for example ; the Wildwood Flower . I have found my own way to play it going slow on claw hammer and it sou9nds like the song. How about that?? I hope you can help me. says Judy Corrette
