Ballpeen Hammer and Claw Style ....hang on ......

Trying a combination of Clawhammer and Balalaika picking .

The "claw " is not held as broad as when used on on a banjo and the thumb and finger in Balalaika picking are picking on an instrument similar sized to a concert uke . The Thumb and finger are held rigidly and the pads of the the digits are used . There is also a bit of Jarvo strum as well.....I've called it Ballpeen(a bit more rounded ?)and Claw as a nod to the Balalaika ,the Hammer part of Claw and a bit of Claw as well...Don't Shoot Me....I'm Only The Banjo Uke ....ermm...Player?




Bugger ....it is too fast at the start ...never mind....

Any Time! BTW, what is 'Jarvo'? (I kind of inferred that it is what you call your own unique style or something, but I wanted to be sure)

Jarvo ?.....that's me ...and my style ...Jarvo is the standard shortening for my surname Jarvis...we is "Jarvoes" plural and "Jarvo" singular

and yes I call my daft thrashings "Jarvo Style"....self deprecating and dunce worthy..

Cheers Mate.
