That's great tune, and the three styles really show their uniqueness because of its melodic quality. The Clawhammer is much more rhythmical.
Oh by the way, excellent drop-thumb! how long have you been playing?

Thanks! I've been playing for about a year and a half now (mostly CH, I'm just beginning to use the others old-time styles)
CH can be pretty melodic too (when skipping the brush for example).
I personnaly find the Seeger strum more rythmical - I tend to use it for songs, as a backup when singing (well, a la Seeger :-)), and to use CH for "fiddle tunes"

Thats a fine comparison of those styles. Very cool. Its wierd. Before I learned clawhammer, those up picking styles would have looked normal to me, and the clawhammer would have looked strange. Now Its the other way around.
