I tried to play over the neck today, in order to cluck.
My banjo is unscooped, with a low action.
So I tried to raise the action by raising the bridge with a "beermate" (a "coaster"?) - talkin' about homemade solutions .
It is just to try anyway, not for the tone!
So, I think I'm catching the cluck:

I need to work a lot to improve this, but I'm happy

Even the blind squirrel finds an occasional nut, I found a banjo!!!

Yep--you've got a "cluck" going--listen especially to the third brush in your clip--you can hear the harmonics chiming in*
Cheers,

That sounds great! Especially on that Deadwood revival song we discussed on a previous post a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the kind words!
BAZ: This tune came in naturally for the clucking test, as I think Jason Mogi clucks a lot - and a simple tune.
ZEPP - I'm sorry, I don't catch the pun - stiil talking English as a Spanish cow

Not bad at all!
This is why I love the hangout! Living in pre-internet isolation for so many years, I had never heard the term clucking.
Now I realize I've been CLUCKING all these years and not just clucking around! :-)

Man you can cluck and speak French, two of the things that I am working on. The clucking sounds great.

Do you have to play over the neck to get the cluck? Does it have to have those harmonics to be a cluck?
