Boggs, while playing a traditional-style of play, did not play in the knock-down, sometimes called clawhammer or frailing style, instead employing a three-finger method that involved picking upwards on the strings of the banjo and permitted him to execute crisp single-note runs in a manner similar to that of a fingerstyle guitarist.
anyone have anymore details on DocBoggs 5 string banjo style.he apparently didnt play in a bluegrass style either.Dick Miles
