Encouraging feedback
The best thing about my "first clawhammer song" recorded below is not what's wrong with it but what's right with it. It sounds like a banjo! The clawhammer sound is there, as it is not quite there with the Seeger strum technique I learned decades ago when I first picked the instrument up. I'm making quick progress because my left hand is already there, more or less, so I just need to master the clawhammer strum. And this recording was done with a smaller fingernail than I'd prefer, having torn it. So my classes definitely are encouraging, I think I'll get this technique down.
