Hi all,
Just starting with the basics of clawhammer, so the past couple of days have been getting used to the right hand technique. I am kind of getting there, but i wondered that like with the rolls rolls of Scruggs style, will i have to learn this until i can do it at speed?
I ask because the technique feels very awkward at the moment, as though i won't be able to do it that fast at all. It's the bit where i strum after the first finger strike on the string. I hit the string, then the raising of the fingers to strum before the thumb pluck on the top string.....it just doesn't feel like theres enough time there to get a fast action going.
I know i have to start slow, and i'm fine with that....i actually really enjoy the slow practice, but i just wondered if its just a case of me getting used to the technique and it will gradually get faster or do i actually ever need it to be fast?
Thanks,
Calv.
