You have simply revolutionized the way I play guitar. I saw this lesson a couple years ago and put the time in to learn it.
It HAS changed my life.
It HAS made my world a better place at the very least.
Thank you so much!!!!
I went on to learn Shiloh Town, a cover By
Mark Lanegan. Such a fun song to play.
I plan to work hard at this.. I'm an old bluegrass flat picker who's hands are beat up from industry.. I think that this, if learned, can extend my playing years. Thank you Steve Baughman!
"It'll change your life. It'll make your life better. It'll make the world a better place." I love it
Steve, we need more lessons, your great mate!!
Been looking for this method of strumming for sometime glad I came across this..looking forward to practicing it.subscribed & liked.cheers Gr8 lesson.
Thank you so much. You have helped me greatly with the guitar.
Ohhhhh! I really got the *why* of it when you brought that left hand in! ❤ Thank you!!!
Great explanation and demonstration. Thank you!
Really great to the point lesson. I'm going to try this.
Yes Steve ! Love this!!
So, so helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Love it! Great lesson. Thank you.
Thank you! Great lesson.
Great lesson. When you started playing in the lesson intro, a Mark Knopfler song "I'm Done With Bonaparte" came to mind. :)
Superb lesson! Thank you!
What a great instructor!
Cheers m8. Breakthrough. Great lesson
Hi Dave, greetings from Belgium, ... I'll start paying my dues to learn the technique, excellent lesson, thanks!
Thank you so much.. You make my day. So perfectly explain. I subscribe, i ll spend a lot of time with you, thank you
Thank you. Learned something new.
You have motivated me!
I'm a reasonable guitar player, but I wanted to learn this. I needed a simple beginning. This is it. Thanks.
Great lesson, thanks much
I can really dig it!!!!
What a great cool lesson. Now I know what to practice when I recover from my stroke, any suggestions there. A little help from friends
Awesome! 🤙🤙
Gret stuff, amigo!
Thank you!
Hi Steve, I feel excited at this new way. Many thanks! Just a question: When my thumb hits the 1st string (low E), do the next three fingers also brush down the 2nd, 3rd etc. strings? Then does my index finger pick the 4th string up as the end of the movement (E maj chord)?
Man I thank you . Now I'm taking it to my ukulele
I love it
I play clawhammer banjo and this is a really excellent demonstration of the right hand technique.
same, also a claw picker. the description of the right hand as motor is fantastic. you can really be free when you've got that down. also the way he says the thumb is the pick up is super useful for transcription
Thank you for the friendly claw hammer tutorial ..!! Really need to make my world better....(!)
Awesome
I will learn it
*Great video! Besides guitar, I also play bass, and I use a variation of the clawhammer technique while playing bass. While I use other techniques, such as slap n' pop, plectrum, etc..., my main technique is to anchor my thumb on the side of the neck, pickup, or thumb rest, and to use my 1st, 2nd, & 3rd fingers to play fingerstyle, while adding thumb slaps and finger pops in as might be needed, but also throwing in the aforementioned clawhammer variation... For example..., I could be doing a fairly standard one note at a time bassline in the lower registers, but adding accent chords and melodies in the higher registers by frailing the strings clawhammer style... It's a really great contrast, as you have the deeper darker more rounded traditional tone of the pads of your fingers for the standard bassline on the bottom, but when you hit those high melodies and chords, you get the contrasting brightness of your fingernails, adding a plectrum like clarity and articulation as well, so you not only have a low register/high register counterpoint thing going, you also have a darker/brighter counterpoint thing going as well..., and with your picking hand in the clawhammer "claw" shape, your thumb is perfectly positioned for thumb slapping the low strings, and your fingertips are perfectly positioned to reach under the strings to pop them... And at any time, you can instantly re-anchor your thumbtip and straighten out your fingers for the traditional fingerstyle bass technique...*
That's so true many hours I've tried to learn from different women and other men players but I think you teach the best I don't know what it is that you can't see their hands as well as you can yours on the movement that is what I like so I do play a banjo ukulele and a guitar acoustic but I don't know about the the hamstrumming I still got to practice that I'm an old woman old woman
so are you always using the index finger? and how much tension in the hand?
Thanks Steve for the claw lesson, i'm internalizing....
Do you need a difrent tuning?
Merci.
Great video. A lot of people call Travis picking for clawhammer (including Americans). Either way your clawhammer style is really cool. Do you have more videos on the technique to build on this video? Your webpage does not seem to work.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Yes, I am doing claw instruction over at Peghead Nation. Thanks for asking,
sick time f0r blues fun
In a distant way, I suppose it's kinda like a hurdy-gurdy with the constant spinning of the rosin wheel as the 'driving force'?
Standard tuning?
I don't think we'd agree on anything, man. But this is a great tute
Make the world a better place
I started out with Travis picking and I blame it on Justin furstenfeld and the Beatles for first time in my life favorites. I'm TERRIBLE with pickin
And I had a hand injury. But I LOVE bluegrass. Flat picking is my ultimate. But I would be happy with a proper clawhammer
uah! 💥🎸💥🐻👍
Now I know why I fight with learning Little Martha
So glad Elliot Smith took a break from touring to teach some guitar
I don't think it's a British thing, calling other styles 'Clawhammer' by mistake. I've seen loads of Americans do it too.
I've always understood that Merle Travis only picked with his thumb & first finger, meaning what you (& many others) call 'Travis Picking' is also a mistake.
I would call what you did there to demonstrate 'Fingerstyle', rather than 'Travis Picking', tho' I'm aware these techniques can evolve & blend into each other somewhat.
That said, cheers for the upload, there's some good info in there!
That’s one lucky farmer!
Next time visit Scotland
Thank you Elliott Smith
"Say you're a farmer and you just spent the last few hours with a hoe. THIS kind of hoe!" Nice save! 😂😂😂
Do you have to have long fingernails for this? Can we just use a thumbpick?
I just watched a video and that guy Donavan was going on about teaching John Lennon “clawhammer” and I’m thinking huh? That’s NOT clawhammer it’s what you said…”Travis picking”. Thank you! Okay, that said, I just want to say that I just ca;’t seem to get this clawhammer thing. (Maybe I should finish your video? Lol I will. Okay….get yer motor goin’….bum diddy
🎼👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎼
Ahh Donovan style .? Donovan taught it to John , Paul, George and Ringo
4:52
Everytime I try this it sounds like 3/4 and a f.. waltz
Hey Steve remember me? Rick from Taiwan days?
Rick!!!!!! of docurse. Si Ma Qi
“...this kind of a hoe” 🤣 Great starter vid for clawhammer. I’m on my way.
I'm on a roll...........been a guitar OWNER for 50 years and NOW I'm taking the time to learn how to play them Stuff like this make me feel sorry for rock n roller noise makers.
lol are we in the 50s? wtf is a rock n roller noise maker exactly
@@johnjarmsen9754 That's a guy who can shred a guitar with a lot of distortion and cause himself and others to want to kill themselves while they go deaf. I can take that stuff for brief periods, but mostly I want a guitar to sound nice.f
@@nathanmayo7101 different strokes for different folks
Without wanting to sound rude,i feel sorry for you if you think music in that way.
Oranges and hamburgers.
Itll make the world a better place! Im doin it.
I swear to god there’s an upstroke in that
I thought you were Elliott Smith !
Yeah Stevey lad - ya got it right first time ..... you OBVIOUSLY do love these English and are intimately knowledgable about their cultural pursuits and traditions - me too .... Crumpet and Tea, Prince Charles and that "GAL" Camilla...... well Lordy Me !!!! Thanks for the Clawhammer lesson .... Not American really eh ?? Clawhammer I believe was brought from Western Africa as a precursor to Banjo Playing.... Thanks anyway.
There’s also American sites that get it wrong!,
,
Steve, nice instruction but you generalise about the English understanding of the technique. We don't all fall in with the stereotype. Guitarists are guitarists the world over, we've got to stick together man...much love from the UK.
1:46 "Say you're a farmer and you've just spent a few hours with a hoe ...... this kind of a hoe (makes hoe motion)".
"If you do an internet search you will get to a lot of sites in England that tell you that Clawhammer is this ... "
No. No you won't. Total lie.
Aw man, at 5.35 , I wish you had of kept with the concept of counting rather than 'bum diddy', can't take to that at all, plus I found it difficult hear the guitar at that point as you kept talking over it!
Hahaha Relax mahnn! Truth is truth. The English ain't gonn come crucify for for this..
Please just teach my a.d.d can’t handle you
I thought this was Elliot smith
Is this the same Baughman who investigated Ravi Zacharias?
doubt king charles is playing much with them sausage fingers
Is this script ripped off of th-cam.com/video/q9Me42csgzU/w-d-xo.html You literally say the exact jokes and examples of UK, Prince Charles, 'hoe hand'. If so, you need to cite Power of Claw's page. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Great lesson but for a guy that says he loves England, and he’s been there, he sure makes a lot of stereotypical comments about the place.
I agree. Also, so far as I know, Prince Charles doesn't play guitar.
I'd say it was a bit tongue in cheek
Also I've literally never heard Travis picking called anything but Travis picking....
Who cares?
A lot of people don’t know that King Charles the third was initially in the Yardbirds, he left when Steve Wonder also left to form Zeppelin. After that Charles became a roadie for the Average White Band. An amazing career really!
Calling Travis picking "English" and throwing in the Prince Charles nonsense pretty much ruined this video. It is utterly idiotic. You should re-record this video without that nonsense, and try to save your reputation.
Huh, Kelly?
@@DG5466 watch the video. He blabbed for several minutes about Prince Charles and travis picking.
Thanks for the good laugh. Hopefully it’s a joke. If not, I guess it’s even more funny. Hopefully you can find someone to help you through this trauma.
@@davidpeightal4918 good job proving you're a complete m0ron.
