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.
As an 80 plus guy just starting banjo this is just the simple approach I need. Barry does a fantastic job and has sold me on clawhammer. I’ll now switch from bluegrass for now. Many thanks indeed.
This is a wonderfully done beginning presentation. Followed closely it leads to great technic.
I have wanted to play the banjo for many years but have just never got started. I ran across your video on the Deering Clawhammer Method and it got me interested. i really don’t know where to begin. I don’t know what kind of bano to buy nor the right method for playing for me so I am writing here because i enjoyed the video. My experience, with string instruments is very limited. I truely would be a beginner beginner. Do you have any advice for me. I am 76, retired, enjoy all kinds of music and looking for something to put a kick in my step. Thank you for listening. Ed
Thank,s Barry Hunn you are a great guy and teacher
Thanks for this folks, It helps an old 85 years plus like me to get started again,
Arnie Brown
