Steve Baughman: “Hard Times”
Peghead Nation clawhammer guitar instructor plays a Stephen Foster favorite.
Peghead Nation instructor Steve Baughman is known for his melodic fingerstyle guitar playing, which draws on Celtic, Appalachian, and various ethnic and folk traditions. He is also a pioneer of the unique clawhammer guitar technique, one of the few guitarists who have taken the traditional clawhammer style of old-time banjo and made it work powerfully on the guitar as a folk, rock, funk, and blues technique.
Peghead Nation recently launched Steve’s Clawhammer Guitar course, in which you’ll learn to use the clawhammer technique on the guitar to play traditional dance tunes with a powerful groove or sing on sweet contemplative melodies. In this video, Steve demonstrates the technique on a beautiful arrangement of Stephen Foster’s “Hard Times.”
