This version of Clinch Mountain Backstep is very closely based on the playing of Ralph Stanley. There's also some great lick variations available. This tune is a good introduction to using the blues scale.
Measure 2, 4, 6, 8 & 12 use a technique borrowed from claw hammer banjo known as an "Alternate String Hammer-On" It's sometimes abbreviated as ASHO. You hammer on to the 3rd fret g string, without picking, at the same time you will pick the 1st string open.
