This is how all video lessons should be done. Play thru once, demonstrate with tab on screen, show, variations at end. Other YTers talk and describe too much when we can just watch the video, tab helps to confirm it, and you can slow the vid down. Kudos, sir!
Hi Richard I am a late comer to the world of ukulele and especially this technique which I am proud to say have started to get on top off. Very much thanks to your videos which have inspired me. I recently brought a banjolele and love practicing this tune, thanks to a forgiving wife. Many thanks.
@@RichardHefner I traded my banjolele for a banjo. Haha I haven't come close to being able to find as good as a tutorial for cripple creek on banjo :( Thanks for being so great!
I feel like a kid on Christmas. I didn't know if you were still uploading videos and when I woke up and saw this, it put a big smile on my face. You've taught me so much and I started with your basic clawhammer tutorials. I practice My Dog Has Fleas, Railroad Bill, and Bobby Magee everyday. I'd been looking for Cripple Creek tab and couldn't have hoped to get it from a better source. Though not clawhammer, I also really enjoyed Deep Purple and was wondering who the original author was. I tried to Google it but failed to find anything on the song. Thanks so much for everything Richard!!! You're the best. You'll never know how much your music, videos, and tutorials have meant to me. Please keep them coming! Metta to you.
Thanks so much for that Scamp Torkenfish! I've got a thousand songs I'd like to do but for some reason I never get around to it. The kind comments keep me pumped up so I really appreciate it! By the way, Deep Purple was written as an instrumental back in 1933 by Peter DeRose. Mitchell Parish added the lyrics in 1938.
Thank you Richard for sharing. I have learnt the claw hammer on the ukulele. ...and moving to play the claw hammer style on the Guitar. Very soon I will be trying on the Banjo too.
Hello Richard! Just wanted to say thank you because through your videos I learned how to play clawhammer ukulele. I'm still not perfect and am still learning, but because of your approachable style of teaching I got pretty far already. I made a short recording of me playing a portion of this song on my own channel if you'd like to hear it. But yes, thank you! :)
@@RichardHefner, thank you kindly for that! I really appreciate it! Trying to film / record some more, but it's way trickier than it seems. But thank you! :)
Richard, I just found you last week and have really enjoyed your lessons. I am now enjoying clawhammer more than any other style I have attempted. Thank you so much! Question to Richard or anyone who can help. During the singing, Richard provides chords and plays a clawhammer patttern that I just can't figure out. At first I thought it was from his "drop thumb" lesson but now I don't think so. Can anyone clarify? Thanks
Glad you're enjoying the lessons! During the verses where I was singing I was just playing a straight bum-ditty with no drop thumb. It was pretty much just 3rd string followed by a "ditty" if that makes sense... nothing fancy.
Can anyone elaborate on what he's doing during the verses? I know it's clawhammer, but what's the exact fingering pattern, and what are those transitional notes he adds between switching chords? (newbie here, lol)
This is a great tutorial, and I really like this song. Thank you so much. Is there a way to get the tab in written form? It would help me learn this a lot. Thanks
So I was able to screenshot and crop all the tablature and make my own pdf. It looks terrible but it works if you want it, let me know! Idk if there's a way to DM people on TH-cam...but maybe i can figure it out
Love this format, so easy to actually see what you are doing. Don’t suppose you would be willing to go back and update some previous ones to this format?
Over the next few weeks I'm going to try to get all of the tablatures fixed so they can be downloaded from the ezfolk.com website. Trying to find the time to do it... If I haven't done it in the next two weeks come back and yell at me!
what is the finger pattern for the verse part? Is it just the boom diddy thing? point finger, then strum, then thumb? but then there is like a hammer part? Its impossible for me to tell in slow motion and my musical ears aren't good enough to hear whats happening.
Yes, it's the "bum ditty" thing, a right-hand technique borrowed from clawhammer banjo. The basic motion is: A quarter-note downstroke with the nail of a bent-under finger (index or middle, picker's choice) on a string fretting a melody note, then an eighth-note strum of one or more strings, during which the thumb comes to rest on the top string, then an eighth-note pluck with the thumb on that top string. There are many variations on this, but that's the basics. With the basic stroke, you get a melody note on the 1, and then a chord on the 2 and 2-and, and then a melody note on the 3, and then a chord on the 4 and 4-and. I hope this makes sense.
Nothing has changed... I tried just now and it still plays fine for me. Maybe check your settings or reboot your computer and see if that helps. Is this the only video you're having trouble with playing? I think the settings on this one are the same as all my others.
Thanks Mr Hefner I really appreciate you getting back with me . It started working again ! I enjoy your work ! You make it look easy. And sound great ! Please keep making them !

Thanks! I agree with you; unfortunately, a lot of people seem to like the over-explained tutorials so mine never caught on.

Again and again, Thank you, so much, Mr. Richard Hefner! So much help you have given and continue to give!! ~ I very much appreciate it!
Thank you Viola!
I don't even play ukelele anymore, but I'm just coming back to say this is the best youtube tutorial I've ever watched! Thanks so much! 😁
Thanks Danielle... That's nice of you to say! Hope you'll get back to playing the uke again someday!
@@RichardHefner I traded my banjolele for a banjo. Haha I haven't come close to being able to find as good as a tutorial for cripple creek on banjo :(
Thanks for being so great!
I never felt the need to learn some uke until I heard this.....beautiful...
Great rendition. This will get me started playing Clawhammer on my Ukulele 😊
You're amazing Richard!! I"m loving these videos. I'm hoping you'll come back and post more

Many thks for your excellent tutorial,
Thanks Raymond... Glad you liked it!
Thanks Richard! Another very good lesson, now I will try to perfect it.👴🏽
When you see the ad that goes "Guitar Geeks Unite!", but you play banjo.
Always a nice job, Richard! :)
Awesome. Thank you for making this!
Fantastic! Thank you..
You should go up to clifftop & jam with the Appalachians... the song that inspired the Band's Up on cripple creek!
Awesome that this can be done on a ukulele...

Спасибо за ваш комментарий!
Great lesson , well sung and played ….. I'm off to learn it now , Thanks !
Чудово 👍
Alucinante !

Ugh! I've been working on this for an hour and it's just clicking!! Lol I want to learn it so bad!!
Is this tablature on your website? I couldnt find it.
It's not on the website but it's in this video starting at about the 3-minute mark.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a great tutorial, and I really like this song. Thank you so much. Is there a way to get the tab in written form? It would help me learn this a lot. Thanks
So I was able to screenshot and crop all the tablature and make my own pdf. It looks terrible but it works if you want it, let me know! Idk if there's a way to DM people on TH-cam...but maybe i can figure it out
@@asmallmorgue thank you for the offer. I ended up writing it out by hand. Your way would have been quicker 🙂
@@weebaldfella awesome! Yeah, I figured since your comment was about a year ago you'd have something but wanted to make sure
@@asmallmorgue could I get it?
Could someone tell me where the tab for this is?? Many thanks
Love this format, so easy to actually see what you are doing.
Don’t suppose you would be willing to go back and update some previous ones to this format?
Where can i download the pdf ? i didn't see it on the website, thanks a lot ! i love this song :)
Over the next few weeks I'm going to try to get all of the tablatures fixed so they can be downloaded from the ezfolk.com website. Trying to find the time to do it... If I haven't done it in the next two weeks come back and yell at me!
Hello!

How many bars per chord then please? It’s two bum per chord each time isnt it ?
0:27
What is the strumming pattern is there a brush or just pick claw.
This is explained thoroughly in my 4 "Clawhammer Ukulele Tutorials" videos. Please take a look at those.
Am I accurate in guessing that your instrument is tuned to high G, not low G?
Yes... All of my uke videos are with high G tuning.
I can't get this to play . Has it been stoped?
Nothing has changed... I tried just now and it still plays fine for me. Maybe check your settings or reboot your computer and see if that helps. Is this the only video you're having trouble with playing? I think the settings on this one are the same as all my others.
Thanks Mr Hefner I really appreciate you getting back with me . It started working again ! I enjoy your work ! You make it look easy. And sound great ! Please keep making them !
@@auggie3546 ... Thanks Steven... Glad it's working for you!
