Could someone please explain the two finger, three finger and claw hammer methods of playing??? What's the difference or why would you play/learn one over the other??? Is it just preference????
Like it or love it, the banjo truly has a sound all it's own and there's nothing else like it.

I can't play and never liked the banjo until my nephew learned how to play. He started at age ten and just made noise that was almost unbearable. Didn't take him long to take hold of it though. I love listeneng to him now. He has been playing around six years now and can flat tear that thing up. He has 5 banjos now and 3 were won in competition. He can't read music but he listens and can play anything With almost anybody. He has played on stage with a couple of bigger names in music around here such as Raymond Fairchild etc. If your interested check out you tube hillbilly Chris sexton or shindig on the green 2013 in Asheville nc with his grandfather. At age 16 He now plays with a group that travels to from GA to PA and pays him well. I'm very proud of him and admire his talent.
