The power of claw in action! Clawhammer style on a National Tricone resonator guitar in a High Five tuning (fifth string replaced by a high first string.) I am using a Fred Kelly pick on my index finger and a Golden Gate thumbpick. Thanks to Jody Stecher for inspiration on this tune and for arrangement ideas.
If you want to experience the power of claw, The Power of Claw DVD, 26 detailed clawhammer guitar lessons with tab and tunes, beginning to super advanced, is available at a Google near you, and at CDBaby. Thanks for listening.
I don't know why I said "judgment day." It should be "break of day", sorry.
If you have a spare guitar lying around, take the 5th string off and replace it with a first string. Tune to DdDF#Ad. High Five Tuning makes a great sound for claw and other styles.
