Clawhammer Banjo 1 (DVD)

In Homespun's Clawhammer Banjo 1, David Holt, who learned his craft directly from some of the traditional masters, provides an overview of the nuances (how to "shade" a tune) that will make your renditions accurate and true to the real old-time sound. You'll learn important right hand techniques such as single- and double-thumbing, "continuous" picking, double-thumb rolls, and the all-important "clicking" sound that comes from down-picking the strings with just the right hand position. Best of all, you'll learn to play 11 terrific arrangements of popular clawhammer banjo tunes.
