It's a pretty unique way of playing. 3-finger is kinda similar to ragtime guitar playing which is fairly common but clawhammer is more specific to banjo.
Well their different styles from vastly different time periods. Clawhammer is OLD like 1600s old. It draws its roots from Irish and Celtic music. Banjo "picking" it’s a midwestern style and is similar to Appalachian bluegrass
Beginner here who’s waited 40 years to get a banjo. Decided I wanted to focus on clawhammer, didn’t want accessory picks. Man I’ve been learning and practicing three finger bluegrass for only a week and I love it! Your clawhammer bit is awesome.
I don't know why, but clawhammer just sounds more banjo-y than 3-finger.

Brilliant.,, been playing a few months myself,,, I’ll look forward to more of your playing.
Thanks! Any Requested topics to cover?
@@BrianLeeBauer.MimicMusic ye,, more chords other than C,D7 and the open G,,,, there’s only so many times I can play cripple creek 🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don’t know. They both sound so uniquely good
I agree. Clawhammer seems lo lend itself better to solo playing and performing.
Great job!
Thanks, dad. Always good to hear from you.
Just my opinion, but I like clawhammer banjo the best.
Hi
Is it possible to learn clawhammer without openback?
Thanks 😊
ABSOLUTELY.
What’s the name of the song you played? Also this was very helpful!!
Cripple Creek
crap i’m learning 3 finger right now but i think i like claw hammer better noooooo 😂
Kill the metronome. It is very distracting. Otherwise, nice playing
Thanks for the compliment. If the metronome is distracting while listening, how much more distracting is it to play with? Just curious.
