Well....I'm from the South, and right now I am playing clawhammer on my resonated banjer....I am doing this because the fourth string on my open back is busted and I haven't had time to go get another. I like frailing over three finger on most of the stuff I attempt and with the slowness of the fingers and the mind I have trouble with three finger, although I am getting a bit better at it. (Practice is everything) The other reason I LOVE frailing on my resonater is when my 29 year old, (who freeloads here much of the time rather than going to work), is trying to sleep in the mornings, I love to get my louder resonated banjer out and practice for about 20 minutes before leaving for my job! Gives me great pleasure to go to the adjoining living room where he sleeps on the couch and see him with pillows covering his ears. Just kinda makes my day, dontcha know!
