DVD - Elements of Clawhammer Banjo: A Lesson with Chris Coole

Chris presents an in-depth exploration of his own trademark style of clawhammer playing. Through a series of exercises and tradtional tunes he builds a musical vocabulary that allows you to speak "the language of music." To this end he demonstrates the three main right hand techniques that define the style: basic strum, double-thumbing and drop-thumbing, as well as the roll. Includes five tunes in various tunings: "Black-Eyed Susie," "The Barlow Knife," "Shady Grove," "Salt River" and "Old Molly Hare." Includes tab booklet. 90 min.
