Hey Zepp, I like how "quiet" your right hand is. Any suggestions for how a novice can reduce the unneeded movement in the right hand? I'm all over the place.
@jcommins Hmmm... Other than the obvious ("don't move your hand so much" which sounds kinda flip), I'm not sure what to tell you. I do play pretty much from the wrist, rather than the elbow, but there are those who argue vehemently that the only way to play is from the elbow. I find Dan Levenson's suggestion to imagine that you're knocking on a door to be a good description of how I move my hand, and recommend that to my students.
@jcommins I feel like practice is the only way to get your right hand to become more efficient and not move so much. I look back on my old videos and my hand was all over the place. I feel like it's kind of settled
Love that sound, makes my feet tingle guy... nice.

a bit late on but have you seen the way Martin Simpson's hands dance around when he's playing clawhammer? seems a very unusual style!

Hey Zepp, love you stuff. What's the tuning here?

@jcommins
Just gDGBD (though the tune is usually played tuned or capoed to A: aEAC#E)

@jcommins Thanks! I was tuned to plain old open G (gDGBD) or something close to it (I don't always go off in search of a tuner...)
