Notes: This clawhammer version is more or less based on Chet Atkin's version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SIf7RW3f48 ). I have tried to transfer Chet's version to clawhammer banjo, even if it is big differences between Chet's alternate bass guitar and cllawhammer banjo.
The second part (B Part) is played with three-finger forward rolls instead of the clawhammer rhyrhm.. You can play the A part instead if you don't master the forward roll.
The tuning is aCGBD which is good for tunes in Am: Copper Kettle starts in the key of C, but modulates to Am in the middle of the tune. (I have avoided the fourth string so also aDGBD would work, but be careful to not play the fourth string open.
