Very much appreciate the precision of the instruction and visuals combined with the "you can do this!" vibe.

Superb lesson Tom! Your analysis is so detailed and clear - I never really understood the mechanics of the Galax lick before.

Thank you, Marc! It's a twisty, curvy, mobius strip of a banjo move, and it eluded me for the longest time. Cheers! Tom

I like the satisfying sound & feel of the pop-pop-pop of my fingernail when playing those three articulated notes

How many banjo's do you have? Would you be interested in doing a video showing and discussing your banjo's?

For some reason I read this as galaxy lick and was super stoked to learn it. Then I heard you pronounce it and realized my mistake. Still excited to learn it, I’ll probably always call it a galaxy lick in my head though. Absolutely gorgeous banjo by the way.

Nice, Karl! A uke can be a great mini-intro to clawhammer because you have that high string on the bass side.

Great video! So which beats can a Galax lick start on?
@FretlessFury
3 жыл бұрын
Now that's a fine question, Alex! I have two answers: 1. Traditionally, the Galax Lick usually starts on the 2nd or 4th beat of a 4/4 measure. The latter version is super cool because it functions as a pickup to the next measure, so you get a big, bell-like 5th string on the 1 of a measure. Very hip and very old timey at the same time. 2. Theoretically, you can start this darn thing on any downbeat you please, as long as your arpeggio occupies a quarter note of time. This is cool because some enterprising, brave banjo-explorer should try starting it on the 1. Oooohhh, I can hear it! Unusual, and cooooool....just keep the groove tight, and you can make the rules. Cheers to you! Tom

Hahaha! I was too until I made some of these discoveries. The puzzle of clawhammer is rich and deep. I wonder what else awaits us?!
