Clawhammer Guitar: Power of Claw

This is a downloaded video and not a physical DVD.

This is the first and only Clawhammer Guitar instructional ever made. In 26 detailed lessons Steve Baughman teaches you how to take the traditional clawhammer style of old time banjo and make it work powerfully on the guitar as a folk, rock, funk and blues technique.

In this complete immersion course, we begin with the basic pattern and proceed to learn advanced "Pyro-Picking" techniques like Clawmonics, Slapping, Tapping, Funk and more. Along the way you will learn six great tunes. Tablature is provided for these six tunes. Clawhammer is a powerful technique and not overly difficult. If you put in the time, the rewards are great. And it works on electric guitar too!

NOTE: This course is not for beginning guitar players. You will benefit most if you can change chords easily and have some basic rhythmic skills on the guitar.
