has gloss | eng: Clawhammer is a highly rhythmic banjo playing style and common component of American old-time music. The principal difference between clawhammer style and other styles is the picking direction. Traditional picking styles, including those for folk, bluegrass, and classical guitar, consist of an up-picking motion by the fingers and a down-picking motion by the thumb; this is also the technique used in the Scruggs style for the banjo. Clawhammer picking, by contrast, is primarily a down-picking style. The hand assumes a claw-like shape and the strumming finger is kept fairly stiff, striking the strings by the motion of the hand at the wrist and/or elbow, rather than a flicking motion by the finger. In its most common form on the banjo, only the thumb and middle or index finger are used and the finger always downpicks, hitting the string with the back of the fingernail or a pick. |

has gloss | fra: Le Clawhammer et le Frailing sont deux types de Picking utilisés en banjo (de type Open-Back de préférence) et, plus rarement, en guitare. Il existe néanmoins une différence entre le Clawhammer et le Frailing : si dans les 2 cas, on utilise le pouce et lindex en attaquant les cordes de haut en bas, dans le cas du Clawhammer, on ne brosse pratiquement jamais daccords, et le pouce peut frapper d'autres cordes que la cinquième. |
