At 2:14 the tempo "picks up" and she switches to a different playing style: #Clawhammer. In clawhammer most strings are hit from above using the fingernail of the index or middle finger. (Nora uses her M-finger).

It's very nice to see this change to "downpicking" in the video.
This is not just a gimmick or to show off her mastery of different #banjo playing styles - it's musically motivated!

Nora Brown is simply the best.

@rachelcholst @americana ... and on my fourth day on Mastodon, I discovered there are things called groups, thanks to @rachelcholst creating one...
Have to go now, but will browse more later, looking for #oldtime #stringband #mandolin #clawhammer #banjo and not finding a lot. #blues may be too ambiguous; #piedmontblues and #deltablues perhaps lost in #FolkMusic
#ukulele and #Irishmusic appear healthy
#Scottishmusic not so much...
#ragtime rare

@owenglynnedavies I'm just exploring Mastodon, searching out hashtags; noticed your 5-string banjo and that you are in Wales. Coincidence: An old friend in #Connecticut, usa, is a trad stoneware potter who learned his trade in #Wales & North Carolina, where he also became a #clawhammer #banjo player. He has a pretty extensive YouTube channel, but probably is not on Mastodon... So:

I'm intrigued by your #charango. I play #mandolin and 10-string N.A. #tiple (gG cCc eEe aa)
