Topic: Clawhammer banjo, Hellooo

Where's all the banjo players? Nobody knows this song "Bluebird" Buffalo Springfield? Steven Stills? Neil Young? Is anybody with me on this?   marcalan

I thought ; If I had one idea,
and took it from beginning to end.
I would try another.

Re: Clawhammer banjo, Hellooo

Totally with you. Only problem is my banjo has hung on the wall without being touched now for over a year. Damned hard thing to learn to play. Spent a year learning, picking up the chords, getting the fingers to behave and finally get some speed up and then all of a sudden lost all interest.

I'll maybe get back to it one day.

Sorry to hear that. What style do you play? three finger rolls? clawhammer? Here's a great site http://www.musicmoose.org some of the best banjo players around. And do you know of Bela Fleck? There's so much more to banjo than bluegrass which I do like....marcalan
