Hello.
I was watching this video of a guy playing 'Shady Grove' on a Deering Vega Old Tyme Wonder (which looks like a nice banjo btw, thinking of getting one).
Maybe I wasn't paying attention close enough to claw hammer players before but I've never seen this style before, where you 'up pick' on some of the strings with your fingers. I thought it was always downward motion with the fingers.
So my question is, is the way this guy is playing just a normal clawhammer style or is there a particular name for what he is doing?
Thanks,
Richard
