_ _ [Ab] Hi everybody, we're gonna do a banjo medley now a claw hammer [G] medley.

Three in [Ab] the G tuning which we're [G] in now _
One first one is cripple Creek [Ab] second one's old Joe Clark.
[Gb] The third one is called shady Grove
[Abm] Which some people tune this B [G] string up a half step for? _ _
creates that beautiful modal tuning and _
And then [Gm] I'm gonna drop this C note, [Ab] I mean that's sorry [Eb] the low
_ [G] D string down to C and I'm gonna play two more song
Soldiers joy and you are my sunshine.
These are all pretty standard tunes
_ Okay _
If you look at the other claw hammer video on this site, you'll see
_ _ _ _ Doing the only thing I'm doing is different is what's called a drop thumb or double thumbing where I'm taking my
_ Usual [Ab] claw hammer [G]
stroke
_ _ _ _ Every other time I'm bringing my thumb down to either my deep my B string or my G string _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Kind of a cool technique gives it a lot of rhythmic interest _
Anyways enough chatter.
