Hi Deering Banjo,
Thank you so much for your brilliant claw hammer lessons . I am 79 and recently bought a Deering banjo and I love it !
Played guitar for lots of years so nice hard fingertips so no pain !
I’m a bit greedy and am trying a couple of different styles at the same time which probably isn’t helpful in the practice slow learn quick world ,when you get to my age you kind of figure you need to get it down !
I promise I’ll try though.
Brilliant lessons massively grateful for your support,
David
Please, a simple tab for the melody notes segment would be a huge help for us older beginning players!
Really, really, REALLY need the TAB that matches this lesson! Even a hand-written tab that shows which strings are being hit on which chords! Thank you very much, Bill
PS – I am the proud owner of two, soon to be three, Deering banjos!
As others have commented, I found it a bit to follow which strings were being hit, in what order, in the melody-only segment. Could you provide me a tab or simple list of the string sequence, i.e. “2 3 2 2 2 3…etc.” so I can better learn the order in which the strings are hit? Love the beginner videos! Thanks, Bill
Love the videos. Love Deering banjos! Your clawhammer videos have motivated me to add this style to my repertoire…. Always trying something new is simply fun! I’ll never abandon the Scruggs style, but I clawhammer adds another dimension! Thank you!!!
