Rocky Top, clawhammer style

Probably not the best version of Rocky Top in the world, but the best I can do.. Guess this is how old banjo pickers entertain themselves at 1 am..

@jeffpicks They ain't nuffin' wrong with Scruggs Style if'n you can do it. Most people can't do it. I can't. But some people can. It's like bein' left handed I guess.. Good for you! hahah.

I'm buying one! I've never played an instrument and I'm 30 reckon I could learn? I mean I just love the sound man.

[rpeek]

@ShingenDok Yes you can learn. It's not as hard as some people (or styles) make it out to be. Back in the old days everybody played banjo..

[rpeek]

@ShingenDok  Oh yea. No sweat.. hahaha..
