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.
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!
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
