Just started working my way through this book which is full of great clawhammer tunes. The puff says 'Traditional Appalachian banjo tunes in tablature based on the music of Wade Ward, Fred Cockerham, Henry Reed and others. With tunings and all basic right and left hand techniques: drop-thumbing, the Galax lick, pull-offs, slide & plucking.'Just giving Shortnin Bread a try out - good the practising drop-thumb. The book also gives a lot of context for clawhammer playing style to accompany a fiddle player. Also some interesting tabs for tunes in D tunings.
