Until recently I only played with the middle finger, and I tended to play out over the scoop. Lately I've been playing around with the first finger, and playing a bit more over the head - I'm starting to like the projection and the sharper tone you get that way. I think on this tune I was probably mostly using the first finger, except on the first string, which I still always hit with the middle finger.
Really enjoyed your version and the up-tempo and the variations you threw in... well done!

This is seriously my favorite banjo video on youtube. Do you have a tab?

This is so nice! The piece has a great feel which you capture wonderfully.

Very cool.
I love the "illusion" well-played clawhammer creates of sounds coming from all directions.
May I ask which right hand finger you pluck with?

Nice playing. Like you say I first learned it in regular G and eventually moved it to gDGDE too. Great tune.
