Learn Drop Thumb Banjo in 60 Seconds

In this video you will learn the basic drop thumb clawhammer stroke in under a minute.

You can find more clawhammer instruction right here on my channel...and banjo performances!

The Old Time Herald says that Tom and Jon "...are not only masters of their instruments, they attack the songs here with energetic vocals and tight harmonies...repeated, deep listening reveals high creativity and even experimentation, hinting at all kinds of riches to be mined from future listening."

Brad Leftwich says of our album, 'Sinful to Flirt,' "...a delightful collection of classic fiddle-banjo duets, played with energy, skill and respect for tradition!"

The Banjo Newsletter reviewed the album and loved it. Dan Levenson says, "it reminds me of the old players and recordings I loved when starting out and old time was still old time. ... Don't miss this CD."

Friends of American Old Time Music and Dance in the UK agrees that "...this CD is a little gem."
