Mode = Mood: Two Pentatonic Scales for "Darlin Corey" | Clawhammer Banjo

There's so much more to clawhammer banjo than memorizing tunes either via tab or ear. In this video, we change the scale that Darlin Corey has been traditionally associated with, and take it from C minor pentatonic to Ionian pentatonic.
This is super easy because of the nature of the triple C tuning, so don't be intimidated! Thinking in terms of scale can help you realize fretboard freedom, while giving you options in tunes that perhaps have never been played before.
All tablature, including an entire teaching module on Darlin Corey with a downloadable booklet, is available for Patrons:
