You've stumbled on what I hope will be a one stop source for all things clawhammer. Be sure to check out the videos. I'll be updating the site often, so be sure to bookmark this page and check back with us from time to time.
Clawhammer style banjo playing has been around for well over one-hundred years and is well known for its highly rhythmic style. It gets its name from the claw-like shape that's made by the picking hand.
Unlike Scruggs style playing, no picks are used on the fingers. See some of the videos in the video section for a demonstration of how the clawhammer style is played.
