With so many clawhammer tutorials out there, we wanted to create one with our own spin. Barry Hunn has been teaching newcomers to the banjo for over 30 years and in this video you will start as a beginner and end with a firm foundation on basic clawhammer technique.
Once you have mastered this section, part two is just a click away.

So grab your banjo and enjoy.
Part 1: An Introduction to Clawhammer.
Introducing the new Goodtime Deco Series, a stunning tribute to the vibrant American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s when the banjo reigned as America's most beloved instrument.
Learning how to play the banjo is no different. There are different types of banjos and plenty of new terminology for parts of banjos and playing styles. Aspiring players also wonder what makes one banjo better than another.
Watch and listen to Deering artists play our banjos and choose your favorite tone!
Man, I have been teaching orchestra for many years now, just saw a banjo from the jazz band seating there with dust (A Goodtime Artesan) started to full around and felt in love with it, just ordered a banjo from you guys and can’t wait to have my home next week, anyway, you inspired me to be a better teacher and keep going learning this amazing instrument! Bravo!!!!!!
I wish Barry’s video had been around when I first started on this style many years ago. I’m sure I would not have developed some of the bad habits in my playing that are now too hard to break. Thanks for viewing this great introductory lesson.
I have taken lots of lessons in my life on other instruments but this clawhammer lesson by Barry Hunn was one of the best. The lesson was just perfect and lots of fun. “Go slow learn fast”
I think this is great. Everything taught here is true. Before you know it you’ll be playing so well. Try it. You’ll like it!
I do like the videos, thanks. Great instructor, wellpaced. I wish they were accompanied by the related tab, and downloadable (my internet is way slow)
