I started out wanting to sound like Art Rosenbaum. Then I heard Beverly Cotten, and got my banjo neck scooped out so I could get that clop, clop, clop on the brush stroke. You know what? I never did sound like either Art or Beverly. I sounded like me playing over the neck. The upshot is, steal all you can, learn the rest, and every clawhammer banjo player sounds different.
