	Picking Dick says: 5/14/2017 9:17:01 PM I really enjoyed this tune, thanks. I'm very interested in this style of picking, and I tried to watch your fingers but couldn't really tell what they were doing. Maybe another time. Anyway, nice going.
	chip arnold says: 5/15/2017 5:25:50 AM Dick, you play clawhammer, right? C'hammer is a finger lead, 2-finger style. In this tune, I'm not doing anything that you can't do with clawhammer. Or if you want to pick it fingerstyle, you would still use the same moves as clawhammer, except that you'd be picking up, instead of down. I'm using some descending ITIT rolls, like strings 1,2,3,5 or 2,3,4,5, which are standard in clawhammer. Other than that, I'm using a lot of dropthumb sequences like 1,3,2,5 and 2,4,3,5 and 2,3,1,5 and 3,4,2,5, etc. All stuff which can be done with clawhammer. Here's a link to some video explanations ... mountainbanjos.wordpress.com/t...-picking/
