The rhythmic pulse and percussive sounds of old-time clawhammer banjo have been ringing through the hills and valleys of America since the instrument was brought to these shores from Africa in our earliest colonial days. It has since become a uniquely American style, still current and excit-ing today, driving the beat along with fiddles, guitars, singers and dancers wherever people play traditional music.

The eight lessons on this DVD represent clawhammer instruction at its very best. Each segment, taught by a master of the instrument, has been chosen to give learning players new techniques, tunes and musical insights. The lessons start at a beginner level, but then progress through many of the complexities of the style, including hammer-ons, pull-offs, double thumb-ing, melodic licks and other techniques.
