The song of my namesake. Claw Hoss. Originally recorded as Wheel Hoss. I have worked on this tune for years and it still will get away from me. #clawhammer #banjo #dropthumbsnotbombs @deeringbanjos #oldtime #wheelhoss

it is very cute but i hope this is not a horse_ebooks situation

idk I guess it is a little dodgy, no website, 'undisclosed location', but I saw a videogame created by an algorithm yesterday so anything's possible.

what I think is interesting is why all AIs are created with female names - is it some kind of 'Adam's rib' complex these programmers have

Omg me too!! Do you have any advice for beginner banjo players? I can't find a teacher in my area and teaching myself is very slow going since I don't know if I'm doing it right or how to improve if i get stuck. How long have you been playing?

Glad I’m not the only one! I’ve been playing for a year and a half now. If you want to play scruggs style (three-finger picking), I suggest you learn some basic bluegrass, even if you want to play folk or country! It’ll be hard at first but it is invaluable to learn in my opinion. I suggest the book The Complete Bluegrass Banjo Method by Fred Sokolow. It had chords, basic roll patterns, lots of basic bluegrass songs, shows you how to play in any key, up the neck, different tunings, etc. It’s really good! 

Also some good blogs to check out are wings-and-strings and wheelhoss, ask them exactly what you asked me too - they’ll probably give you better advice since I am just starting out. 

Hope this helps!

the middle one looks kind of like a moustache. i am feeling very ambivalent about a hypothetical facial-hair-shapes inlay banjo.

My inlay looks like broccoli. Broccoli vs. mustache?
