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!
Thank you Thank you Thank You!
I have been trying to play again after shattering my left shoulder. No surgery..it is what it is. This video has helped me pick up my Banjo again. I have a long way to go but now I know how to get there. I love my Deering and look forward to playing again!
Great Introduction to claw hammer playing – well paced and clear
Great presentation. I am so grateful for this introduction to claw-hammer banjo.
Being a relative beginner at 5-string bluegrass and the proud owner of a Deering Golden Era banjo. I have often wondered about claw-hammer style.
You have really done an awesome job in this presentation and it leaves me wanting to be able to hear more and continue this education.
I however live in south Florida and there are not a lot of banjo teachers here. The teachers that are here are rather pricey (for a retired individual) at $60 an hour, so I am truly grateful for this lesson.
I hope you will consider making a continuing course available even if it’s for a small fee.
Very good lesson,Thanks
Best claw hammer lesson out there. Thanks!
