Hello my name is Paul and I am new to banjo. I have played bass for years and some flamenco guitar so I am used to finger picking and such. But anyway I have been learning to play Scruggs style with his book and clawhammer. I enjoy clawhammer a little more since my life has been a crusade against picks. LOL!
Anyway I have the book Clawhammer for the Complete Ignoramus and I am doing well in it now. So where to next? I need to learn drop thumb and some of the fancier things I see folks like David Holt doing. I see David has three books and I have no idea where to start in them. I also need to learn the place of banjo and some theory behind it. As far as teachers here I have only found one and I am going to look into her soon but I don't think she does clawhammer. I have also watched several videos on Youtube and Brainjo's series on Clawhammer but I had most of the right hand down and all the left since I have played for a while.
Anyway just need some ideas on where to go next, books etc,,,
Thanks!
