Description

The core of this style is in the right hand, and Bob demonstrates, in detail, how to get the real old-time clawhammer sound. He shows you easy renditions of four traditional banjo pieces, then adds hammer-ons, pull-offs, and other embellishments that create style and complexity. Within minutes, you’ll be playing Shortenin’ Bread and Cripple Creek in G tuning. Bob introduces Liberty in double-C tuning, which features double thumbing the fifth string, a slightly more advanced right-hand approach. The well-known fiddle tune Soldier’s Joy rounds out the lesson, with Bob adding a variety of slides to the other skills you’ve learned. Each song is played at a moderate tempo, and then broken down, section-by-section, to highlight crucial left-and right-hand techniques. This DVD offers all the skills you need to get started in this exciting style. http://www.amazon.com/DVD-Learn-To-Play-Clawhammer-Banjo-Les…
