great stuff aaron! i just put a low G on my uke. do you think clawhammer would sound okay with a low G or do you really need that re-entrant string (a la banjo)?

[ackeim]

I prefer the high string, but low works!

:10 but ZOOMED in

thanks that was great and very helpful. So much easier to see what you were doing on this vid than the lesson 1&2, thanks!

[Caruke]

This is really great - again! Thank you very much.

[TenaciousFlea]

just watched this again trying to pick up the little number you do at the end. is there any tab available for that? who is jerry kanote (sp?) and does he have a youtube channel or can you post a link? thanks!

[MrPlatypus70]

Thanks for posting this video, I have tried this on banjo and ukulele and never gotten it. This lesson, focusing in the picking hand is very helpful, now I am going to try again!

[fo76]

yeah! more clawhammer uke! what about a little book with clawhammer tunes (tabs & all)??

[christhtisisbullshit]

That really helped! I'm sure I'll shed many tears before I get it right, but I understand what I'm trying to do.
