After a few months away from banjo I picked up last month where I left off in Dan's Clawhammer Banjo from Scratch book. I've familiarized myself wth three of the tunes (Spotted Pony, Angeline Baker, and Arkansas Traveler) in their double thumb forms and have slowly begun Angeline Baker in dropped thumb form. Of those three tunes I must say that Angeline Baker is my favorite and Spotted Pony is my least favorite. It's not that Spotted Pony is bad or anything I just prefer Angeline because when I'm playing I can get more into it and my playing of the rune seems to flow better. Has anyone had similar experiences? Out of all the tunes in that book which did you like the best or found more enjoyable to play? Which of the tunes did you find easiest to play and in what order did you learn them?
