  • Continuing our quest to build bulletproof clawhammer banjo timing, I've created the single most difficult striking hand exercise I can conceive. In this exercise, we move from quarter notes, quarter note triplets, eighth notes, eighth note triplets, to sixteenth notes while keeping the same tempo. This exercise is a light-hearted challenge. If you can't do it, don't be alarmed. Think of it as a puzzle to be solved over time. Have fun. Never give up.
    Ryan Harlin's video gives you a really nice walkthrough of how he tackled the exercise:

    Hey Tom, sorry to bump the thread on this older video, but I just found this video and wanted to say thank you! These exercises are just what I needed. This video and the ones on hitting the inner strings have proved very valuable for me. You got a subscriber out of me! The banjo quest is a lifelong mission and I'm enjoying the journey. BTW, that OME is beautiful! I hope to get a nice one like that one day. 🙂

    Hey nice foundational exercise. I find myself hitting the drumhead of my banjo a little more than I'd like so this helped me slow down. Your banjo is gorgeous! Who made it?

    My name is Aaron. I just started learning banjo a week and a half ago. It's a lot of fun. I learned Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss in two finger thumb lead style. I posted it on this (my wife's) CZcams channel if you want to critique my progress. Anyway, Best regards.
