From Clawless on 5/10/2014 5:04:15 AM

Hello everyone.

I am Pete, new to you, old to the world and am in to clawhammer. I would like to know if there is anyone out there with the same bent and better still in the Salisbury area.

Just got myself a really good tutor called CLAWHAMMER COOKBOOK from Amazon.

It is not laden with every tune on the planet but deals more with how to play the same tune many different ways to add interest. There are a good few tunes in there all old timey and it's the best one I have come across so far. You can then apply the techniques you have learnt to ANY tune.

	Clawless says: 5/10/2014 8:54:17 AM Oh that's great news and I am glad to be within the circle now. Hopefully they will all come out of the woodwork! What's the thing to do here?...learn a toon then do a vid and post it? Got myself a nice Goldtone 800. Can't put it down. Great sounding banjo.
