This is the first in a series of tutorials designed for complete beginners on how to play frailing (clawhammer) banjo. In this first episode we focus on the basic frailing strum, which will be the foundation of everything we'll play.
.........................................................................
Hey everyone :) Welcome to the banjo ranks! I'm Banjo Jen - a singer-songwriter from Sheffield in the UK. I don't really play loads of old tunes and I don't focus overly on music theory or technical aspects. But I use the wonderful frailing banjo style to play and create songs, and - most importantly - to play for fun. So I hope that I can help you to do the same thing and get enjoyment out of this fab instrument if you're just starting out (just be aware you will always be the butt of jokes in folk music circles if you play the banjo!). Please join me in the uphill struggle to make banjo cool!
If you're interested in my original singer-songwriter material, please check out my website www.banjojen.com and subscribe to my main KZfaq channel / banjojen . Thank you :)

These tutorials are of course available for free, but if you feel that you'd like to contribute anything, obviously any donations to poor banjo players are always appreciated in these tough times! My PayPal account is www.paypal.me/... for any of those exceptionally lovely humans :)
And finally, always remember …pick tunes not fights!
