This is lesson no. 1 for learning clawhammer (or frailing) banjo. These lessons take it super slow, so in this video, I just cover basic right hand stuff. I go through proper sitting posture, hand position, down stroke/down brsh, and thumb pluck.
The aim here is just to get used to hitting the strings with your fingers/fingernails, and how to pluck the high G string with our thumb. Take your time with these exercises before moving on.
Slow can be boring, but it is effective!
