"Bump ditty" style.... I didn't learn that most players call ut "claw hammer" until I'd been playing for quite a while.

QUESTION : how can I get rid of the fingernail clicking sound made with the back of my index or middle finger nail?

[unknownhuman]

Me trying this on my telecaster as I don’t own a banjo, yet 😂

[banjovy-bm]

my thumb is inclined to wander to the other strings

[leonardrose-fqme]

Howdy Jim ! Is that a Dobson 5 string?

[davidleigh]

Hey Jim, are you striking the notes with the right hand with your finger nails, is that the technique?

[forcemycompany]

QUESTION: hey Jim! Every time I strike down on the 1st string the back of my fingernail hits the banjo? Is that normal or am I doing something wrong ? Thanks for all the help Jim! Keep being great !
