Scott Rogers || Waterbound (Clawhammer) (Reprise)

6 months ago I wrote, "Hello SR, Jeff from Humble Baritonics here. I have not found sites to link for DGBD tuning. You may make your own compositions but if you have any links to DGBD tablature I would be glad to show them on the blog." 

Scott Rogers replied, "Hi Jeff... here's a link bluesageband.com/Tabs.html This is a site with lots of tabs in several tunings. They're written for banjo but baritone players can just ignore the fifth string notations. Some tunes use the fifth string as part of the melody but with a bit of lateral thinking one can find a work around."

I thought that MrVinylment's comment was quite precise, "This is great, I love the way your left hand seems to flow slowly, yet smartly, around the neck."

Check out the Blue Sage Band site.

SRPMINC || Kitchen Girl Clawhammer Style

I e-mailed Scott to see if he had any favorite links for his DGBD, Open G, tuning. He writes...

"...Here's a link bluesageband.com/Tabs.html This is a site with lots of tabs in several tunings. They're written for banjo but baritone players can just ignore the fifth string notations.

Mike Iverson's Clawhammer Banjo Tabs

This tablature has four lines just like bari -- but be careful, the high string starts in another place, above the tab. Mike Iverson has several tunings which will be interesting to explore when I have more time.

Ken Middleton || I'll Fly Away (Gospel played Clawhammer on the Baritone Ukulele)

Such a wonderful classic tune, something that touches the heart. The best thing about music is that it is a never ending journey of growth and playfulness. It is a journey where we meet new friends and share. Ken has a wonderful spot to play an early morning tune. I make sure I play at least one song each morning and then a few more throughout the day. (Having a home office has a few benefits!) Blessings to Ken for sharing and teaching so much. 

Here he is using Living Water strings and is playing with a High-D string. The baritone is an Ohana model BK-35.

Lil' Rev has the BEST Claw-Hammer Strum Video

Lil' Rev is a friend of mine. Since I started playing music late in life I try to find instructors that are straightforward and clear. He has written a few books that have been published by Hal Leonard Music Books. I have seen him perform in Berkeley and Santa Cruz and enjoy his storytelling and style of music.

I have his books and videos and have worked through much of the material. It gives me a structured way to work through materials. He is quite an instructor as you will see in this instructional video. These books are geared towards beginner to intermediate players.
