I've been taking my time looking for a banjo on which to learn clawhammer style. I was fortunate enough to attend a Dillard's performance in a very tiny venue (about 20 in the audience) and Beverly spent a lot of time discussing the clawhammer technique and the importance it has in American musical history. She got me thinking it would be nice to ad this to the list of instruments I can't really play.
I spend most of my time playing tunes out of old Scottish flute books, Milliner-Koken, and Ryan's Mammoth on mandolin, fiddle, and guitar, but I would like to add banjo.
Are any of you ladies and gentlemen playing this type of music on your banjos? What are you playing? Links to video or sound files?
