O Death ~ Clawhammer Banjo

[@GroovyGrandpa2]

My aunt used to babysit for the Stanley’s, this brings back memories of her telling us about them as children. Thank you.

[@Swampy_Hag]

As a forest ecology student I love the pretty forest in the background of your videos Please keep posting videos for a long time Especially the gourd banjo stuff!

Wow! Your voice is perfect for this song and you perform it with so much soul and feeling!! Haunting yet beautiful 😌

[@talisetunes]

Wow thank you☺️

[@BlackWolf9988]

Such a beautiful girl with such a beautiful voice and talent. Thank you youtube for recommending me this song randomly.

[@talisetunes]

Thanks a million!🌸

[@Observer-cp4if]

More singing! Thank you!

[@c2thaDmusic]

I know you might of liked it better without the sirens in the background as im exhausted of the same sounds... but with you playing over it theres a separate sense of melancholy that shines through. You've managed to make the whining and sighing of emergency vehicles sound pleasant because of your hauntingly untethered, smooth, yet bold as brass voice as well as the clear commitment and dedication to your instrument. Absolutely fantastic.

[@MichaelBCoats]

Dr. Ralph Stanley would be proud of you, Talise!

[@justinhuffman2430]

I second this emotion ❤😮

[@talisetunes]

Thank you❤

[@OrangeySky11]

Just found this young lady on YT and you are soooo right, Ralph would definitely be proud. She has a voice that is unique, can’t put my finger on it but it’s absolutely beautiful. No auto tune needed on this one, every note hits perfectly! Gosh how I would have loved to hear her duet with Ralph.

All for more gourd banjo! Your voice and its mellow tones go so well together :) Hope you're enjoying the start of your winter months too. I want to experience the full suite of seasons up north there one day.

Nice. I half expected one of those figures walking along the horizon to have a sickle in their hands... Spooky.

If I walked past the woods and heard a disembodied voice and banjo, I'd definitely get chills!

Awesome rendition, sister. This has been one of my favorites, for a long time. And a happy belated Halloween to you! 🙂🎃🎃🎃👍👍

One of my favorites and what a nice gourd banjo. Planning on building me one this winter.

[@ChrisLeeW00]

I think your coat is touching the drum, it has a spooky growl to it. Very good!

[@talisetunes]

It was! I was trying to shake it off a bit to no success

[@Veezyjung]

I stand corrected from my comment on your Big Iron cover: This is the most Wild West thing I've ever seen.

Coming straight from eastern Canada haha

[@quixotichippie]

oh wow, you're really wonderful... I hope you make more playlists on your channel, it'll give you some serious watch hours 💕🌱

[@talisetunes]

Thank you so much!!🔮

[@DrunkenDemon]

Thank the algorithm :) i have no idea about a clawhammer banjo( maybe the way its played?) It sounds hard to control, but :) it adds something hauting to the song itself. Good choice for today:)

[@nomms]

Clawhammer is the old way of playing it. Downstrokes only, no upstrokes at all. You play a solid, driving rythem and use pull offs, hammer ons, and drop your thumb off of the drone string to fill in the melody on top of it. It's a blast of a style, and gives itself to improvising and jamming a lot.

The sirens in the background actually added to the song.

That… banjo? Has a great tone for this song

[@erikhoff5010]

Excellent playing of a difficult song! I'm very interested in the particular style of banjo you are playing! What is it called and where did you find it?

[@ammonitegamer4165]

theres a faint siren in the background in some parts, i think it really adds to it, as the content of the lyrics really match with maybe.. a medical emergency I love this I just started learning banjo and i love it! currently using an old english style which has been lent to me, but ill be getting one for myself at christmas!

[@talisetunes]

I’m in the city for a few weeks and definitely feeling this tune while being here!💀 Good luck on your banjo journey ❤
