Clawhammer Banjo Workshop

In this workshop we will take a look at where you currently are with your playing and focus on how to improve what you're already doing well. We will hone skills like timing, fluidity, and fretboard knowledge. Then we'll focus on these skills as we learn a new tune. We'll also explore what might be lacking and set some goals for the upcoming winter downtime.

All skill levels welcome. Your own 5-string banjo is required.
