Woodshedding must have worked. Good time, good technique, excellent picking. Thanks for posting.

OD a nice start. Criticism - not enough use of the high string, if at all. To me, thats what give clawhammer it's bounce, that one little open note that kinda answers back on the melody notes, which you have down well. You use a few hammer-ons, which sound cool! More! I'd also work on the rhythm, not that is not, but I;d like to hear more of that driving rhythm clawhammer can do. The woodshed was certainly productive!

Thanks for the comments wrench
I'm aware of the weak 5th string
I'm working on that.Hopefully I can improve. I have weak thumbs from 50 yrs of hand abuse .
I'll take your advice on more left hand techniques which I have from playing bluegrass banjo.
