Clawhammer - It's not just for breakfast any more.

That was going to be the name of the group - but I figured the "Clawhammer Before Breakfast" crowd would boycott it.

I don't intend to be a helicopter parent of this group.I can't really see myself as the "owner'. I don't even know if anyone will sign up... It just seems like there ought to be a beginner's group specifically for clawing - since the bluegrass pickers already have groups for every year (up to 3 score and 10) you might have been playing.

Does anyone happen to have a good Image for the group?

	esox says: 2/1/2011 11:48:41 AM Hello to you all. How new to the banjo can you be! To day I recieved my first fretted instrument. An Epiphone mb-100 witch I have to set up coming days. I hope to get it right soon.
	Crowman says: 2/17/2011 7:21:51 PM I am a beginner switching from BG Scruggs style. Tried BG for awhile and started listening to some old clawhammer tunes and thought I give it a try. I have a full work load, and a caregiver to my Dad who is very sick, so I don't have much practice time. I am trying to learn basic stroke and double c tuning right now, which was totally new to me. Hope we can get the group going good as I for one need all the help I can get.
