Isn't overhand and clawhammer the same style of playing?

2020-10-31 18:27:57 +0000 UTCAre you able to play any of that stuff yet, Louie? Any of these tunes I show yall can be played overhand, two-finger or up-pick, so you can totally "claw" this one if you're not ready to fingerpick it yet. I should mention that I first learned to play this straight overhand style from George Gibson who also plays it overhand a lot.

2018-04-02 12:14:01 +0000 UTCThanks for the clear explanation. I just played through this song several times. I like learning more about two finger picking. These banjo licks work for a lot of other songs - like Stagolee.

Maybe sometime in the future you could do a similar session involving minor chords. Sometimes i struggle finding an up the break if the song contains a minor chord in its basic structure. Thanks!!!
