i love how humble Steve Martin is

Could be Brittany, if it is, her looks have changed alot. But that is infact a 5 string fiddle in this video, which is what she plays.

I love the sound of the Banjo I have a cousin who plays the Banjo and he is in the bluegrass band Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

YAY!! the akward handshake-hug thing . . . when ellen began to talk to Steve Martin. . . G-d is he talented :-p

and hot! heh

I can't believe how little credit she gives to Tony! It was his CD after all! Besides, Steve's good, but Tony is at a level way higher than Steve, and deserves a lot more recognition. They do sound good together though!

does anyone combine three finger with clawhammer like steve just did in this song that was pretty nice

It's tricky to do with picks on, but Doug Dillard does in "Dooley" for one. Whoa, Mule, also.
The thing about Steve's playing is that people always think it's a hobby, secondary to his acting. He was a banjo player long before he was an actor or comedian. He has serious chops!

Clawhammer/fralling is a three finger style.
It's invention is credited to Earl Scruggs.

Clawhammer/Frailing is not three finger picking. It is a down picking/strumming motion, derived from the patterns developed by African akontig and xalam players. Three finger picking is entirely different and existed long before Earl Scruggs; Scruggs simply brought it to a level of polish and popularity it had never enjoyed before.
