Banjo is far from my favorite instrument. However, clarity is a combination of the player and the instrument.
This particular guy plays at the near-virtuoso level (knows all inversions of all chords, automatically selects just the right one, yet has no clue "theoretically" as to what he's doing) and plays a very large-head VEGA tenor (nope, not a plectrum) banjo.
Of course, I like it better when he plays the 4-string guitar, but his banjo chords are clear and defined.
