In this workshop, Janie will focus on right hand clawhammer moves such as drop thumb, double thumbing, slides, pull-offs, hammer-ons and ghosting, to up your banjo playing as a melody and back up player! She will teach 1-2 tunes, but will mainly focus on how to add these techniques to tunes that are well known in the old time jam repertoire.
