Due to a table saw accident, the only two fingers that have full feeling are my thumb and index finger. This is a game changer for me. Thank you!

This is great for us old farts with jerky hands. Please, keep on helping us.

Thanks for the very clear explanation and demo of basics, a good option for beginning banjoist who is intimidated by clawhammer.

Very helpful for someone just starting out. I'm trying out claw hammer but as a guitarist is a pretty alien concept. 😬. Two finger is beginning to look like the way forward for me. Thank you. 👍🏻

Thanks so much for this! I've been playing clawhammer for about a year and was feeling pretty stuck in my style until I stumbled on this and your website. Super helpful stuff.

What a gift! Thank you!

Excellent tutorial on a very useful 5-string method. Thanks!

I gave your video a thumbs up right away cause you did things the correct way to demonstrate the style first….then explain & show how to do it second. So many other videos here on YouTube where folks drone on for 10 minutes and never demonstrate what they are trying to explain. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! 👍👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks Aaron for, as ever, an extremely erudite, straightforward and informative explanation. It has relieved me of the 'banjo guilt' of having to clawhammer my way to banjo heaven! There is another way of playing!!!

Hello Aaron - no comments for this great two finger style lesson for awhile so I wanted to thank you again for getting me started on a style that is MUCH easier then even claw hammer! Please keep up the good work..
