She doesn't mention that she's playing in "double C" tuning. G D G C D. Good video.

[@LOVEITTVclips]

she talks about a sound like percussion... but it then jumps and we never find out how to make that sound ... how does she make that tap drum sound whilst playing clawhammer ?

[@bradyblackburn7877]

That was like watching Jimi Hendrix giving a basic lesson. Amazing.

[@flamindigo]

didn't explain the "percussion" well at all. the technique is wonderful except for that.

I Saw Abigail Washburn at Telluride. My real first taste of Clawhammer banjo. Been hooked ever since. She's a fantastic player and singer. Wonderful technique. Thanks for the lesson!

I am absolutely amazed. I just discovered that this style of playing was not the origonal way of playing the five string banjo

Clear to see playing the banjo just makes her feel so good.

This lesson was so helpful. Would you ever consider doing another?

[@thewatcher5271]

Really Great Tips. You Can Sure Tell She Enjoys It & That Ol' Banjo Looks Well Worn, Too.
