I can't seem to find any clawhammer teachers in the Houston TX area. Anybody know of anyone?

I have found "Rocket Science Banjo" here on BHO to be an exceptionally good source. (I still can't "cluck" but...) I had some music background before I started with the banjo so that helped me kick off and without knowing your background, I'm not sure what else to suggest. Good luck and let us know how you fare.

All the ones mentioned above by @Tatersoup are absolutely great, also the 8 Essential steps to Clawhammer Banjo channel on YouTube is great as well. youtube.com/user/howtoplaybanjo Enjoy :-)
