After my Bum ditty for Uncle John video I got some questions about using clawhammer on instruments other than banjo. So here it is on 3 strings.

Thanks AGP. I've got a bunch more stuff to explore in the upcoming week so maybe I'll come back to clawhammer after a while. Ain't that enough bum ditty for one week?

Really good stuff Jim, "More More More" (please!)

Thanks Will! I remember it taking me a good while to make it feel comfortable. My wife remembers it as me trying to drive her crazy. "All day long - plinkity plinkity plink. Would ya give it a rest!"

That was good, Jim, but I still can't do it!  I love watching you do it though.

Thanks turtlehead. It is hard to explain and I had to think for a while about how best to explain it. You can't, really, just with words but I think anybody who takes the time to work it out will have fun with it. You do it quite nicely!

Thanks Andries! This is all downstrokes, no upstrokes at all. It's a down on one string, a strum downstroke on all strings which brings your thumb onto the string closest to your chin and then another downstroke as your thumb comes off that string. Then it all repeats. Crystal clear right?
