I've been trying to learn double-thumbing on and off for nearly nine months now. No matter how many explanatory videos I watched and how many performances I dissected frame-by-frame, I just couldn't get it. Then, yesterday evening, I watched this video and it clicked. Within an hour, I was beginning to really get it down. I attribute this success to one specific turn of phrase to which I will be forever grateful: "Boom-sha-ka-la-ka-la-ka.

this is really helpful, you've pretty much taught me everything I know on banjo (granted it isn't a whole lot). I'm much better at learning from your lessons than from the longer, more polished majority. Could you do a lesson for a clawhammer version of clinch mountain backstep? Love that tune

@gageman70  If I can remember how it goes I can...

What tuning are you in? This would help my ear learn it quicker if I knew.

Thanks

I got a banjo for my 16th birthday, and, without realising it, started using the drop-thumb clawhammer. I already played guitar and mandolin, and it aint hard, but is if you want to learn how to play Scruggs style (I cannot do Scruggs style)
