Shenandoah - Clawhammer Banjo

Shenandoah is one of my favorite classic songs.
12" Laminate Maple pot with Ebony pot cap and Rolled Brass Tone ring. Simple star and fretboard dots, with fretboard veneers, and S scoop. Carbon Fiber truss rod, set up comfortably with a 5/8" bridge.

You're definitely one of my favorite banjo players. Your articulation is amazing and you manage to make it sound like there are 2 instruments playing simultaneously with chords in between the melody adding sustained tone in the background. Seriously awesome.

Lukas has now redefined what a Banjo sounds like and how it can be played. This is revolutionary to me and my playing. I get it now, dynamics, push pull, a Banjo can be expressive and not just continuo. Thank you for this.

You have a delicate, emotional touch, Lukas. I keep thinking I'm interested in a custom banjo from you!

[@steven98092]

Thank you Lukas. I picked it up by ear. Great arrangement.

[@golfer0197]

Absolutely perfect.

[@susan4180]

Thanks Lukas,As info, tab is o.k. but I prefer to see you play it and explain the important parts. I get a lot more out of it that way. You play the way I would envision to play clawhammer and I look forward to supporting your teaching efforts.

👏👏👏👏👏

[@bjd959]

Great tune. I would like to see this on lesson site also!

Hey there, Probably will be putting it on next years lesson videos. I've tabbed out note for note the break, it looks pretty weird on paper. Starting off the new year with a version of Bonaparte's Retreat and by request Edelweiss. Eden is going to be joining me this year and teaching Old Time fiddle lessons. We're each going to teach a tune of choice and then sync up on another one every month. Just finished recording the end of this years lesson videos, they are Shaving a dead man, Cider, Wolves a howling, Tomahawk, Over the waterfall, Sandy boys, and finishing the double C lessons. With our internet being so slow, it might take to the end of the month just to upload everything. Thanks!

[@dpgfla]

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone begging for the second break in this lesson. Any plans on putting the next part up on your site?

[@hansandriasjacobsen2636]

Incredible playing. What tuning are you in?

[@benmartin4540]

i think that the one person down-vote was done by mistake. outstanding rendition BTW.

[@ajeje1996]

Great rendition! Is this double C?

[@jeffwhittington8046]

You have a wonderful approach to Clawhammer banjo. What can we expect to see on your lesson site for 2017 ?I am getting ready to sign up after the holidays are concluded. You could save a student a lot of time and provide proper technique.
