[@lesliebucari4096]

You are really something special. There are many people who love to share and teach but you are the Detail Master that is helping me love to practice my banjo. Thank you, thank you and God bless you so much. A new banjo-ite in the making 🙋‍♀️🙏👏🤶

Thank you for that, Leslie!!! I'm thrilled you've discovered the banjo! Please stop by any time and let me know how your journey is going.

Still my favorite fundamentalist!

[@FretlessFury]

jerry! Where ya been?!?!? Thanks soooo much for your comment. "Banjo fundamentalist" sounds dangerous, but if you're going to be a fundamentalist of something, I suppose "of the banjo" is best (as usual!).

How much space is between your strings?

[@FretlessFury]

I don't know. It's not something I've spent much time thinking about. Any modern banjo bridge works fine for clawhammer. To build accuracy, make sure your mechanics are sound and that you're doing lots of slow reps without the fretting hand being involved.

Tom my fingernail is slippery when trying Clawhammer

[@FretlessFury]

Hmmm....a slippery nail is a good thing! You want that nail to slip right through the string while you strike. Does this make sense? If not, send more details!
