Here's how I play The Claw by Jerry Reed. This version is at a medium tempo at around 160bpm, except for the ending which is slowed down and played in free time. All these Jerry Reed songs are so good for warming up your hands and developing technique and fluidity, especially when played with a metronome set to a nice slow tempo, at around say, 120/130bpm or even lower! Have a go and follow along with the tab if you like this style :)
I use a standard medium Dunlop thumb thumb pick for these kind of songs and on my classical Martin guitar, some hard tension D'Addario Strings (EJ46).

Sat down for three days to learn this one and boy was it worth it! What a great introduction to finger style guitar! Thanks for the awesome, nuanced tune and I will surely be checking out the rest of your channel!
So incredible !! I'm from Brazil Camilo, and I love so much Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed... And your videos it's the best class for me!! I'm very grateful for you!!
Note for note just like the album, amazing. Thanks for the tab
Wow, I've never seen a finger picker play as good as you without anchoring down. Awesome man
Hes anchoring with his for arm isn't he ? I do this as well ! Think its probably cause hes had no formal lesson or self taught !?
He is an outstanding player, of course. Anchoring down? With Pinkie? Does anyone much do that? Most people I watch don't. Where did the idea come from, that one can only find the strings with one's pinkie fixed? It is garbage in my humble view and quite unnecessary. In fact, some of us can't easily as everyone's hands are different. My LH pinkie is 3cm shorter than my ring finger and it is hence very constraining to try and anchor it. If anchoring works for some people then 'fine', but idea that some teachers pushed for awhile it is good or preferred practice is just nonsense - ever seen a classical player do it?
@@nibla17 I have no problem with those that it suits doing it. What I object to is some teachers suggesting that one should, or that it offers benefit. No classical or flamenco player does it and, again, most flattop players I watch, don’t, even if Tommy does. Tommy is a law unto himself, of course. People vary in how many fingers they pick with. I use three but not everyone does, some only use one or two.
@@richardturbine1769 Whether flamenco or classical players use it or not is a "garbage" reason to put it down lol, the hand position for playing a classical or flamenco piece makes it impossible to anchor your pinky lol Also talking down about other techniques is dumb, guys like Doc Watson and some other fingerstyle players only play with three fingers and this would also be a no no in classical or flamenco
When I finger pick I anchor with my pinkie. You do what works for you even Tommy Emmanuel says that. I have a wear track on my 64 Guild Polara electric from my anchoring. Not about to change now each to his own.
Jerry himself issue enjoying this
Enviable technique, my friend! Ultra clean, clear, and articulate! Well done!
Fantastic job!!!! Loved it and you nailed the tune!!! Jerry is smiling down on you....
Great rendition of a great song. I heard the Claw is Jerry's take on Ray Charles' What'd I Say.
sir ur fingers are very smooth......keep covering awesome songs....thnx sir
How can you be so good and play all these songs, amazing
Thank you thank you thank you! I've always had trouble getting the lead break correct with all those ghost notes!
Glad to help John, thanks for your comment :)

Magic
man, what happened to have yourself a merry little christmas? it was super dope
Oh thanks man! Well to be honest there were a few Ted Greene arrangements I posted that I took down as I really didn't like the recorded sound I was getting for my guitar. I researched it a bit more though and have bought a bit more gear, so will be uploading them again with my new gear and new archtop at some point :)
It's nice to listen to even if I'm not learning the guitar. :D
Awesome my friend 👍🎸🎶🎶😊👏👏👏👏
Thanks man!
@@CamiloJamesGuitar you're welcomeee brooo 👍 keep going 🎸🎶🎶😊 and i hope you will also take a look at my channel later 😇 thanksss brooo 🙏🏻
Nice!
wow
Awesome as always, can you do thumbing the bass by merle travis? Thanks!!!
Thanks! I may get round to that one, one day :)
I don't even wanna know how much you had to practice to get to this point. I think I'm just gonna close this and go back to practicing. See you later hahahah
im learning this stick to this tune 3 hours a day minimum 1 or 2 months you should get it,,,now if you are already an accomplished chet travis picker etc a few weeks or days
😎😎😎
Gr8 video.. Why do you swap over to using first finger?
Could you recommend one song of your videos for a mid-level guitarist? Most are difficult...
I'd say a song like this one is a good song for learning fingerstyle, or if you would prefer something even simpler, one like this: ua-cam.com/video/b2ITCreGsEo/v-deo.html Hope this helps :)
@@CamiloJamesGuitar Thank you!
Great!!! which guitar model are you playing?
Thanks! It's a Martin 000C nylon :)

Great except for one thing. I don't read tab.
