Description

In this tutorial we're gonna explore one of my favorite ways of strumming on an acoustic guitar, which is often referred by the term that banjo players use called “clawhammer” because you alternate between “clawing” the strings on the upstrokes and lightly hammering them on the downstrokes. This is all slightly less dramatic on acoustic guitar, but the result is still incredibly useful. And even though this approach has a strong country sound to it, when you first learn it, I can guarantee you that you'll be able to use this in almost any style of music that includes an acoustic guitar. Let's get started!
