[tubegucker1]

are you using the drop thumb lick ?

[wildjimbo]

@tubegucker1 yes, and a variety of other things too. :)

@wildjimbo Thanks: This cover is really great .I'm trying to learn clawhammer banjo now . I really wanna learn this (your?) arrangement of this great song, but it doesn't seem to be the easiest choice for beginning clawhammer. I've only played classic Scruggs style before. Can you give me any tips?

[wildjimbo]

@tubegucker1 I'm glad you like my arrangement. It's not that complex, but it wouldn't be something I'd suggest for a beginner to tackle. Spend more time on the basics. Spend plenty of time with drop thumbing and learn to utilize the technique over all the strings.

Just like learning Scruggs style you have to spend a lot of time making sure everything is internalized before you can start picking apart other people's arrangements.

looks kinda easy to me sounds great though

[wildjimbo]

@tubesteakbooky yup... nothing to it but to do it. Looking forward to watching some of your videos. :)

That's some mean clawhammer you got there....

[theincrediblemrzach]

Way to go Jimbo. Love your style.

[tubegucker1]

@wildjimbo Thank you. Maybe I'll put a clawhammer vid online someday. Then I'll let you know. Thanks for your help!

Very nice rendition of the old dock boggs tune. Thanks for sharing your talent. Like your banjo too!
