    I'm only about 10 minutes into the video but I can already tell you're my favorite UA-cam banjo teacher so far. Thank you for the the lesson. I'm gonna make it through this one.

    Your teaching style is really, really effective, and you teach at a skill level that most of youtube doesn't get to (most stop before hammer ons and pull offs). please keep teaching!

    I scored a banjo for dirt cheap yesterday, and this is the first video I've found that made everything make sense for an absolute beginner. Thank you

    great video. i have been playing clawhammer for about 8 months. one thing i have learned there is a 100 ways to skin a cat! there are so many ways to play this tune, not to mention a lot of old time songs have tons of different lyrics lol as a beginner, it seems easier at first to try and follow one person/teacher and then branch out when you have the foundation securely under your belt. i first started watching tons of youtube videos of different musicians and it was too overwhelming. i agree that most online teachers don't break the tunes down enough for beginners. keep up the great work, looking forward to more of your videos.

    Just want to say a massive thank you! You got me started on this tune and banjo itself. I play it slightly different now after a friend gave me some in person help. I was stuck at a certain point .
    Yiu really broke it down so well for a total novice like me .
    So happy I can now play the whole tune . Obvs not that well, but improving day by day.
    Can’t express how happy I am ..
    Cheers!

      There are so many variations on Cripple Creek - ultimately it's just down to each individual to play it their own way. I will put out some more videos some point soonish!

    Fantastic! This is the first song lesson I followed along with after just recently getting a banjo. And I can't believe how quickly I was able to pick things up with your instruction! 😲 It's just too much fun to play, it's hard to remind myself to slow down and practice things more accurately 😅 Thanks and I can't wait to watch more of your videos!

    Okay... please keep posting. You're really a wonderful teacher. I'm a science teacher (my channels are sickscience and thespanglereffect), and I've been looking for a great banjo teacher. You're it! Seriously, your patience and humility when it comes to inspiring your students are such great qualities. I'm glued to your channel hoping for more songs like Cripple Creek. Until then, I'll keep practicing this one. Huge thanks - Steve Spangler

    Getting back into clawhammer after an extended break, thank for posting this, its what I need to get my chops back up. It's true what they say, if you don't use it, you loose it. A quick question, what is the finger pick you use? I prefer playing with my middle finger as well, but the volume is quieter than when I use my index, and I'm wondering if what you wear will help with that.

      Glad you find this helpful!
      Playing with a fimgerpick will definitely make your playing louder. I also find it to be more accurate, which is why I first started doing it.
      I use a few different ones, but they're all much the same. I'd recommend just buying 2 or 3 different types of metal (they have to be metal!) fimgerpicks and trying them out, to see what suits you.
      Dunlop is always a good bet. You may need to shape the pick to best suit you. Basically, experiment and try a few things out 👍

    What is the best banjo for a beginner and is claw Hamer the best method

    • @clawhammerandfrailingbanjo6366
      @clawhammerandfrailingbanjo6366  Місяць тому

      Best banjo depends on your budget - I reckon buy the best you can afford. Most consumer reviews are fairly accurate I think.
      And there is no best method, they're all quite different with different strengths and weaknesses.
      Clawhammer is coolest though 😎

    I’m one week into owning my first banjo and I’m hoping to be able to learn this painstakingly slow so that I can play it well. How long will it take? I have no idea, but thank you for aiming your teaching at those such as me 😊

      @clawhammerandfrailingbanjo6366  2 місяці тому

      Just take your time - it can take a while for it all to come together, but it will eventually. Clawhammer is a weird style to get used to, but once you have it it's quite straightforward

  • @jimmyjones4316

    I am curious about the pick you use on your middle finger. Could you tell me about?

    • @clawhammerandfrailingbanjo6366
      @clawhammerandfrailingbanjo6366  8 місяців тому

      I've tried different picks over the years, but I always prefer metal ones. Ultimately, I'd advise trying out a bunch to see if you like them. If you keep your finger nails shorter, like I do, it will help you with accuracy, tone and volume!

    Hey man what type of pick do i need for clawhamer

    • @clawhammerandfrailingbanjo6366
      @clawhammerandfrailingbanjo6366  Місяць тому

      Hey! You don't need a pick - you could just grow out your striking nail slightly.
      If you do want to use a pick (I do!) then most normal metal ginger picks will do. You just need to wear them back to front so that it acts as a fake nail.
      I have experimented with different fingerpicks and loads work equally well. I'd encourage you to buy a few types and see what works for you. I've only ever liked the metal ones (partly because I can bend them to the perfect shape and angle) but your mileage may vary!
