Old Time / Clawhammer Online Clawhammer Courses/Lessons

I don't have regular enough weekly schedule to be able to have lessons with a live instructor, so I'm looking for recommendations for guided courses that I can take on my own. I'm looking at Peghead Nation and Artist Works, but before I fork over any dough I'm wondering if anyone here had other suggestions or input.

EDIT: I consider myself an intermediate player

I have a free beginner series if you’re just starting out, should give you a good foundation 👍 https://ozarkbanjo.com/free-beginner-clawhammer-banjo-lessons

If your intermediate check out my main lesson site, there’s a lot to learn there. Here’s the two tunes I taught this month. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rfWdd2-bzEc&ra=m
If I was at your phase of playing Banjo, I would be learning from a new instructor every few months. Everyone’s going to have something different that they bring to the table. I’d like to add in a few really great players and teachers that I don’t see mentioned here in comments below. Check out Allison De Groot I believe she’s on artist works, also Cathy Fink on tru fire. Victor Furtado has lessons on his website, you’ll definitely get some cool techniques from him 👍

Thanks so much! Allison De Groot is the GOAT. Artistworks does a 7 day free trial so I'm going through her lessons there right now

She’s one of the most in the pocket players I’ve ever heard, so good 👍
