Clawhammer Banjo

Clawhammer banjo is a style of playing the banjo that originated in the Appalachian region of the United States. It is characterized by its rhythmic, percussive sound, created by striking the strings with the back of the fingernail or a pick held between the index finger and thumb. This style of playing is often used in traditional folk and bluegrass music and has influenced many other genres of music over the years.
