@kevinwholmes Funny. I know one Scruggs player who plays in a danish bluegrass band, but all the other banjo players I know from the old-time circles play clawhammer. I can't play clawhammer, it feels awkward to me, but I'd like to learn. On the other hand none of the players I know can play thumb-lead. So I was really happy when I found a blog on the web from where I could download some tabs for thumb-lead style. I really love doing that. It feels much more natural for me.
@sidewindermack Lots of bracket, yes. Some of the old banjoes had that. It's not all the original brackets, as some had disappeared during time. Wish I could find some of the original brass brackets. That would look much better

Very cool. Fun to see someone else play 2-finger, as do I. Most banjo players I meet are either clawhammer or 3-finger Scruggs players.
