Does anyone know any modern tunes that are suitable for beginner clawhammer banjo? And by modern I mean anything from the 70,s to current. I am a 50 year old who grew up with genesis and ac/dc. Luv the sound of bluegrass and Cajun, just think it would be easier to learn if you are very familiar with the tune.
