FINALLY! An instructional video that starts from the
beginning! Clawhammer From Scratch begins as though you
really have NO knowledge of how to play the five string
banjo clawhammer style. Beginning at the beginning, Dan
presents a brief history of the 5-string banjo then goes
over the parts of the banjo, holding the banjo, right and
left hand styles and his basic clawhammer strum. Even the
strum is broken down into the steps of the finger and thumb.
Based on Dan's innovative Meet the Banjo(TM) program where
Dan brings 15 banjos and teaches players who may have never
held a banjo, this video assumes no prior experience. Using
one tune, Spotted Pony, you are guided through the chords,
the scale and then the individual notes of the tune. This
video ends with a few tips and frequently asked questions
and even a chance for YOU to play with the fiddle and guitar
just like in a private jam session. If you have been looking
for that one instructional recording to get you started,
this is the one for you. If you already have many books or
videos but still can't seem to get the basics, this is the
one for you, too! A 2-page pamphlet is included
