At 2:14 the tempo "picks up" and she switches to a different playing style: #Clawhammer. In clawhammer most strings are hit from above using the fingernail of the index or middle finger. (Nora uses her M-finger).

It's very nice to see this change to "downpicking" in the video.
This is not just a gimmick or to show off her mastery of different #banjo playing styles - it's musically motivated!

Nora Brown is simply the best.

Jsou písničky, které se obvykle líbí. Mají něco. Nevím co. Něco. Jedna z nich je Knocking on Heaven's Door. A je jedno, která verze. Já mám rád tu od Petra Kalandry.

Snažím se tu skladbu vymyslet na svou #openback pětku, ale furt to není ono. A včera na mě vykouklo video od BanjoSkills a hle, je to tady! Přišlo mi to tak jednoduché a esenciální, už to skoro umím. A čím víc to hraju, tím mi to přijde jednodušší a míň zajímavé. Máte to také tak? S čímkoli? Že když se to něco naučíte, místo abyste si připadali jako king, říkáte si spíš: A to je všechno?

#ClawHammer - "Blank Frank" (1990)

Saw these incredible fellas play at least a half dozen times back then. Every gig felt like I was witnessing some beautiful vestige of Hollywood #punkrock spirit revealing itself one last time, just for me.

Claw Hammer - Blank Frank

It's #BanjoFriday again. This week's banjoist is Rob Stenson, a "modern", higly virtuosic #clawhammer player who employs some unusual playing techniques.

In 2023 he released the "Gold Mountain EP" on YouTube and Bandcamp, produced by #Vulfmon/Jack Stratton.

The EP was recorded directly into a handheld recorder on the sidewalk of a road in Los Angeles - as a comment on Bandcamp says: "#Banjo in its natural habitat"
