Snowdrop - Clawhammer Banjo

[@belro17]

If you're watching this and wondering how to play it do not hesitate to become a member his lesson video for this is amazingly helpful it's not just a note by note instruction he actually walks through the options. I've only been playing a month but just in the first five minutes of watching this video stuff is clicking like it hasn't before. I swear I'm not a shill 😂

[@chrisgifford3888]

That's a lovely tune. I'm awaiting the arrival of my first ever banjo. I hope one day to play this well. 😊

[@dmcmillan1968]

I'm 54 years old and bought a Banjo 5 weeks ago as I've always wanted to try and learn to play, I initially was learning to play Earl Scruggs style until I watched this video. I've now switched to clawhammer because you play this so beautifully & I'd love to get to this stage in the future. I'm going to subscribe to your online learning shortly but I'm in the UK and I'm unsure if I can. Thank You for this video.

[@ThePapawhisky]

I return to this video occasionally when I need a reminder that humans possess beauty and creativity. Thank you!

[@McGby128]

I first saw this video a few years ago when I first started learning clawhammer banjo. Since then I have tried and given up repeatedly to learn your version, revisiting it every year or so to give it another shot. Im finally to the point where I can finally play through it, albeit a very rough rendition of the song. Hopefully in a couple more years I'll be able to play it as well as you. Thank you for the continued inspiration!

[@Nick_Lamb]

Hows it coming along?

[@McGby128]

@@Nick_Lamb poor. Hardly played the last year or so unfortunately

[@Nick_Lamb]

@McGby128 No time like the present :^) God Bless.

[@johnmescal]

They say the Angels of Heaven play their music on Harps, music like this makes me think it's probably on banjo's...... beautiful music Lukas, Thanks you.

Triplet strums are a great touch best version of this I've heard

[@mrtaco520]

I've watched this video about 50 times. Never gets old. So good

[@xrekcor]

Oh Gawd! I do want that banjo….. the moon inlay broken the camels back…. Lovely tune and well played.

[@richsw]

The B part especially is some of the loveliest clawhammering I've ever heard.

[@judyroberts6827]

He's a great teacher too.

[@BanjoWoodshed]

Agree with Mullaly- best version I've ever heard. Wish you,lived next door so you could teach it to me! Your rhythm is amazing!

[@JackFossett]

I’ve rewatched this about 15 times - absolutely beautiful playing.

[@moonoggin]

Beautiful finesse on the strings and your ear for melody is one of the best I've heard. This is the way I like to hear banjo. Great performance.

[@eseyfried79]

This is the perfect tune for your style. Incredible drop thumbing. Flawless.

[@PorchCreeper]

Great version and performance

[@sweetgoose]

One day I hope that my clawhammer playing will be as clean and expressive as this playing.

[@SidecarJenny]

This is pure clawhammer beauty.

[@marthastone5783]

I love your arrangements and your soulful playing Lukas. Always a pleasure to listen to you play,

[@TwoCatsUp]

Truly a treat to behold this music from your artistic mind.

Beautiful tune and beautiful banjo.

[@ezralogan]

This tune has convinced me to buy a banjo and learn clawhammer so i can take a stab at picking it one day. Fantastically beautiful.

[@bobthabuilda1525]

[@theresaryken901]

I love your playing. Been saving a lot of yours and Eden's tunes on my favorites list. Love Eden"s fiddling too. Now I just noticed your harmony on the B part. I always did that by playing with someone else. Cool. tunes

If you watch his Cluck old hen video you can get a close-up of the inlay!

[@letsplayharmonica]

Clawhammer banjo looks like brazilian viola caipira (10 strings country acoustic guitar) old school playing. There's a famous brazilian musician, Almir Sater, that plays the viola caipira almost like that. But, instead of "hummer" the strings with the back of the nail, he pull out them with the nails and fingers. I'm gonna put the Almir Sater link here, so you can compare.kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6DEgX6OmbRgpbM

[@brew1138]

That scoop is called a Texas Scoop because it mimics the curves in the Rio Grande. Why not, kinda a cool name. Oh, and by the by, a *very*nice* "dance of the hands"! Love it.

[@michaelmcraemusic]

Is there tab available for this?

[@Tim21832]

brilliant

[@lordofashes8262]

Love it

[@banjotuna7104]

It just took me 2 hours to learn this.

[@punujayakody6362]

Awesome playing man!! Superb.. Just one question. Apart from the regular clawhammer with double thumbing, do you ever pluck the string with the index finger on its way up after the initial down-pluck? Or is it the hammer ons and pull offs that I hear that way? This playing is so fast I keep wondering whether there is a component like that..?

[@nathanszymanski5515]

where can i learn how to play i’ve had a banjo for so long but i make very very very little progress

[@sweetgoose]

re-watching this for the 1000th time and I am still in complete ore of your exceptional and beautiful playing. Do you have any of your music recording online anywhere?

[@zuhairreza]

Wow! Wow!!! ❤️

[@1965yukon]

Hell ya!!

[@guitarplayr4]

This is fanatic. Do you offer a lesson and tab on it via your website and subscription?

[@passathequady3906]

are you using nylon strings?

[@stephenbaker645]

TOP !! Thankyou :)

[@Cliftyman]

beautiful banjo tune. Are you in sawmill tuning? Nice drop thumbing too...

[@theozarkbanjoco.byedenluka5036]

Thanks, double c tuning

[@lummers12dub]

Aw this is wonderful. Love the backdrop. Where was this filmed ?

[@joshuak4646]

How long did it take to get to that level of playing?

[@grannywoods12]

What kind of open back are you playing?

[@dawolfgamming9219]

Cool

[@AlsoSprachDJ]

Yes, what tone ring?

[@banjopilot4011]

I THINK I see some upstrokes by the index or middle finger. Any way, which way your interpretation is great. I'm a scrugg's who started on old time. I'm starting reviewing songs such as Snow Drop. Again, well done...

[@dylangaffney954]

What kind of tone ring does this banjo have?

[@guitarplayr4]

Can I get the tuning? Awesome btw

[@DavidHite]

Probably double C. gCGCD

[@JelSnel]

Very nice. Is this tune in double C or did you tune the first string up to an E?

[@firebert07]

Double C

[@runrig97]

The tune starts on "C", he's playing it on the 1st string, 10th fret. Most people do crank the first string up to "E", and start on the 8th fret.
