Will I am starting lessons soon and I have been having a hard time deciding between Scruggs and Clawhammer and this might have just pushed me onto the Clawhammer side. Awesome pickin man!!
It takes a while for the clawhammer rhythm to set in, but once you get the hang of it, its a lot of fun. Dwight Diller has some excellent learning videos and there are a lot of good pointers on the Tube. Just jump in and go for it and be patient.
I teach both styles and folks seem to have the most trouble with the clawhammer. Don't give up on it and one day you'll wake up and it'll be there.

@smayhew22 You want to see insane clawhammer banjo.
check out Billy Connolly Cripple Creek. That Scottish comedian can shred a banjo.

@smayhew22 why not teach both? they both have their pro's and con's.. if you like both and can play both then why not teach both?

Yes it is! A reissue Brian Setzer Nashville model.
I used it on Ghost Riders but my camera mic doesn't really do it justice.
