So I now have a small library of clawhammer instructional material and as I'm reading through the first part of Clawhammer For The Complete Ignoramus I see he instructs one to use both your index and middle finger. The index for your 1st string and the middle for the rest. I truly thought clawhammer utilized just one finger whether it be the index or middle and your thumb. The style is already a bit complicated and now I learn I may have to utilize both the index and middle in any given song. Am I misinterpreting his directions? Utilizing more than one finger from the get go seems fairly advanced when you're learning your first songs. Most everything I've read has only suggested using one finger. On an added note...does Dan Levenson use his middle finger primarily? I've searched the archives regarding this topic, but I haven't seen this specific question addresses. Thanks for any advice/direction!
