Just getting back to claw hammer after 40 years. I used to play a lot but just picked it up as I went along and used it primarily to accompany old time songs ala NLCR. Never worked out tunes, they just happened and I can still pick up most tunes in a few minutes BUT some of the OT banjo guys are playing 8th note melody lines. How do they do it.? I only string a melody note on a down stroke and occasionally with my thumb.
I'm thinking of guys like Adam Hurt
Enquiring minds want to know.
Thanks!
Bob
