Love what you do Jim. Down to earth and just clean playing. After watching many of your videos has got me walking around with my head tilted sideways. Find it hard to brush my teeth & comb my hair!
Yes! A clawhammer video, and I love the freedom of choice you bring with this lesson too. Really encourages us viewers to play around and make the tune our own. Thanks for the quality content!
Hey Jim, many thanks for this lessson. I've just been given my banjo and after a week of learning the basics of clawhammer this tune was the first i have tried. I'm still very rough but appreciate how you guided me through the basics. Happy new year to you from Aotearoa New Zealand.
Thanks Jim: that double C tuning was what I needed. I've been trying to do clawhammer in G and it just doesn't sound right. Ordered your book yesterday! I also like your approach to picking out the melody and then adding embellishments.
As usual Jim. great, and easy to understand rendition. During my journey, I have experienced people not wanting to share their knowledge. Or saying, you need to learn Scruggs style. You are very generous with your knowledge. Myself, I try to share any knowledge I have gained. By the way, I have that same banjo you are playing! Great playable, affordable, sounding open back.
Please show us your version how you play ( red wing ) im playing banjo now, thanks to your aweosme channel!!! I cant find nothing compared to yours online, the clarity and precision how much your teachings works thank you!
Thanks Jim, very helpful lesson! I'm wondering if you could consider doing a clawhammer tutorial for Same Old Man/Old Man At the Mill ? I like the Karen Dalton version, but any version is good, i like the song and would like to learn it 😊
Do you mind if I ask what make and model of banjo you got there? I'm looking to get a better open back banjo for clawhammer playing and really like the sound of it.
@@JimPankey theres a couple people who teach it on CZcams but I find them alot harder to follow than you, you make it easy! Would be amazing if you could work it out for us, anyway thanks for all you do.
Another great lesson man. I'm just wondering if I have a resonator banjo should I take the resonator off if I play clawhammer? And would it be the same as a regular open-back?
Awesome lesson, Jim! I was wondering if you've considered revamping your Ill fly away lesson from a while back, and make a lesson on Peaches and Cream. Love your videos!
Jim, as always, thank you for these lessons. A couple of questions for you. 1) If I don't have a scooped neck, do I still play over the neck, or is playing over the head okay? 2) What kind of strings are you using on the banjo? they look nylon, but I can't tell for sure. 3) When I do that 1, 2, 3, 5 pattern, how do I break the habit of wanting to use my fingers for the number 2 string? I struggle getting my thumb to drop to the two string and then use the finger for the 3rd string. I either use my finger for 1, 2, 3 or my finger just for 1 and the thumb wants to do 2, 3 & 5 which is wrong an clunky sounding.
Play where you’re most comfortable. Strings are just medium gauge steel Break the habit by getting the right hand technique down. Sounds like you’re still struggling with that. Go back to my beginner frailing lessons for review.
@@JimPankey Well, that could be part of the problem as I never did your beginner frailing lessons... just the Bluegrass ones. I'll go take a look at those. I just had a book on clawhammer, and mine looks more like flailing vs frailing. :)
Hey Jim! I know you were good buddies with banjo neal, do you know how to play his "pickin wild blackberries" my mom really wants me to learn it for her but I don't know where to start.
Hello Jim, at 8:42 you say "hit that 4" (th string) but I don't understand in the B section if you hit the 4th with your drop thumb at any point, or if it's always with the 4 other fingers. Thanks!
I'm really enjoying these claw hammer lessons! I'd love to see more of them!
Thanks!
I learned bluegrass pickin' and this is the first time the bum-diddy actually clicked for me. I'm gonna watch this on repeat until I master this tune!
Glad I could help! Hang in there!
Love what you do Jim. Down to earth and just clean playing. After watching many of your videos has got me walking around with my head tilted sideways. Find it hard to brush my teeth & comb my hair!
Thanks for the kind words! 🤪

More to come!
Love,love, love it! Thanks Jim, just starting my clawhammer journey and your videos really inspire me, please keep doing what you do.

Thanks for this - something finally clicked and this helped me get drop thumbing figured out!!!!!!
Yay!!
Thanks Jim: that double C tuning was what I needed. I've been trying to do clawhammer in G and it just doesn't sound right. Ordered your book yesterday! I also like your approach to picking out the melody and then adding embellishments.
Yeah, double c is really helpful in changing how you think about Clawhammer.
Thank you so much
Thanks for watching ☺️
Great lesson... drop thumb is my friend, huh!

Enjoy 😊
Great lesson Jim 👍🏼
Thanks 😊
That's so cool! Love it! I've tried claw hammer. Just can't seem to make my hand work that way. Might just give this'n a try anyway!
Thanks Jim!
Follow my clawhammer series. It’ll help.
@@JimPankey same here lol I struggle with it....plus I don't have nails which makes it difficult
@@JimPankey Forgive me if this is obvious, but how do I follow the Clawhammer Series specifically?

Nice Jim can play this one 👍 🏴 just play I slightly different ..but great again thanks for posting ..cheers Tony
Hope there was something here for you anyway.
Thanks! So much for great content, hope this token payment increases your search rating, learning so much off you

Great lesson. Mahalo nui loa.
Thanks. :)
Thanks Jim, very helpful lesson! I'm wondering if you could consider doing a clawhammer tutorial for Same Old Man/Old Man At the Mill ? I like the Karen Dalton version, but any version is good, i like the song and would like to learn it 😊
It’s a good tune. Not sure I’ve ever heard that arrangement, and I really don’t do other peoples’ arrangements. Good suggestion though.
Hey Jim ever do any tunes on a banjo ukulele? That might be fun.
I do. Don’t currently have one though.
Do you mind if I ask what make and model of banjo you got there? I'm looking to get a better open back banjo for clawhammer playing and really like the sound of it.
I'm playing my Recording King RK-OT25
Love clawhammer! But its to dificult for me.. one day will try it.. thanks for this!
When you are ready check out the beginning series I did.
Hi Jim :) Are you planning to do more of this kind of banjo style? I like it a lot and wornder if you going to upload some new stuff?
I probably should... 😌
I looked up the Recording King RK-OT25, and the guy in the video on their website could be your brother. Doppelganger for sure.
It’s me. lol
Another great lesson! Could you do a lesson on "walking boss" for us please.
I’ve heard it, but don’t think I’ve ever played that one.
@@JimPankey theres a couple people who teach it on CZcams but I find them alot harder to follow than you, you make it easy! Would be amazing if you could work it out for us, anyway thanks for all you do.
Another great lesson man. I'm just wondering if I have a resonator banjo should I take the resonator off if I play clawhammer? And would it be the same as a regular open-back?
I’d just leave the resonator on.
I liked this lesson, can't play with my cast yet, but shoot, I like molly hare ok.
I hope you heal up soon!
🤘😎
😊🤙🏼
Awesome lesson, Jim! I was wondering if you've considered revamping your Ill fly away lesson from a while back, and make a lesson on Peaches and Cream. Love your videos!
Was talking about I’ll Fly Away today. Probably won’t do Peaches and Cream.
@@JimPankey Sad about peaches and cream. But stoked to see what you do with I'll fly away!
thank you. this was great and no tab
Glad you liked it!

7:16 first part playthrough
How did you get so cool Mr. Pankey?
Never really considered myself cool. 😎
Hi Jim. What make of banjo are you playing here? Sounds good!
Recording King RK-OT25
Hey Jim! I know you were good buddies with banjo neal, do you know how to play his "pickin wild blackberries" my mom really wants me to learn it for her but I don't know where to start.
I never learned that one. Sure do miss Neal though!

You’re just hitting it on the down stroke to make the chord sound big
@@JimPankey Thanks! this clawhammer thing is great, I hope to emulate your Country Blues video soon!
do yo uhave a rendition of Lonesome Road Blues for clawhammer?
I don’t. Never thought about it.
Can i play clawhammer with a banjo with the resonator behind?(like the One u use for the bluegrass lessons)
Yep!
Please show how you play the song
Red wing:):) would be very appreciated 👍👍👍👍👍
Probably won’t get to Redwing. It’s not one that I ever play.
do a lesson on dooley on bluegrass
I play thru the kickoff here. Use the slowdown feature. I bet you can figure it out. czcams.com/video/bytib45AmfQ/video.html
But hang tight... considering doing a full lesson on it. :)
Hey jim I posted a video on my channel of my progress on wagon wheel if you wanna check it out
Fantastic!
Just realized Jim you have been on a god food eating diet seems youv lost a fair bit of your body weight hope is all ok health wise ? 🤔👍🏴
Health is good. Thanks for asking. Finally decided to get serious.
