Lost Gander - Two Finger & Clawhammer

[@SleddogMicker]

Absolutely excellent. I really want to learn this song

[@jimsatterfield8748]

I'm not at all surprised to learn you won; you're the best frailing banjo player I've ever heard. Nobody plays like you.

[@rongplanet]

Beautiful slow part - all together a wonderful exhibition of top drawer banjo skills.

[@stefanorncomposer]

Love it! ❤

[@judyroberts6827]

You make it look so easy. Very mesmerising.

[@heatheralice1974]

Love your 2 finger/clawhammer integration. I'm trying that on cripple creek, but mine sounds like I ran out of paint and finished the wall with the wrong shade. Definitely need to subscribe to you to immerse myself in your artistry.

[@maxwellfan55]

Watching and listing to this is why I, and other like minded musicians adore playing this, the friendliest and most companionable of instruments. It always delivers happiness, good feeling, and puts a smile on the face, come sunshine or cloud. You should observe an infant's joy on first hearing a banjo being plucked! My current neighbour might choose to think differently, but then again she also hates trees. Love the peg-head inlay and congrats on winning the Old Time Contest.

Thanks Mike!

[@hunteryork7788]

Damn that was awesome man.

[@stephenbaker645]

What a fantastic rendition. Been a fan of Norah Brown’s version , this too is top ! Thankyou

[@Copperhead919]

Very beautiful piece of music.

[@youmondo]

Congrats on your well deserved win!

[@hiltonjoejohnson]

Outstanding! I hope you teach us students how to play like this.

[@fredhicks7483]

Definitely prefer the 2 finger over the clawhammer. If I can get myself to start practicing a decent amount, I might try the 2 finger style out.

[@davidkelly1220]

Super

[@rolandkesslermusic]

You should really consider doing some pro recordings for sale and to put on streaming services!

[@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036]

Thanks! We were halfway through making a new Cd when the pandemic hit. Hopefully when everything‘s open again we will finish it up!

[@usmc2msu213]

Man I want to learn this tune, but that f#dead tuning is a bear to get into and sound decent. Anyone got tips on how to do it? Really thick strings?

[@theywillknowbandcook1279]

Do you have lessons?

[@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036]

Absolutely, here’s a link to the lessons. ozarkbanjo.com/clawhammer-banjo-lessons

[@front-porch]

Been enjoying your videos. I noticed you use drop thumb a lot, do you recommend elevating your wrist? Trying to get it down but im used to keeping my wrist against the head.

[@josedelondres2320]

Is this the same version as the tab available on your website?

[@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036]

Same version, I teach this tune two finger style and Clawhammer 👍

[@josedelondres2320]

Oh my days you literally said as much in the description... 😳

[@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036]

I just checked out your KZbin Channel, it’s awesome!! Do you also play Banjo?

[@josedelondres2320]

@@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036 Thanks! I do play the banjo. It's an instrument I've played on and off for a little while but have only just recently picked it up with the determination to play daily and improve as much as I can. Your style is certainly one I try to imitate as much as possible in terms of the general poise and subtlety you bring to the instrument which is not something you see with every clawhammer player. Appreciate your work 🙏

[@LindaPottberg-ih4qy]

Tuning?

[@timthompsondp]

Do you only have the clawhammer tutorial or do you have the tutorial for the 2 finger style?

[@gerardchatelier27]

Very subtile music indeed... more than banjo

[@farnorthpicker56]

Beautiful!
