I'm in Glover-Archbold Park in Washington DC for this one, snuck down into a creek bed to play amongst the bull frogs and wrens. I don't care how overplayed this song is, it's such a classic melody that sounds just like the heartbreak it describes.

The best compliment that can be made is that I now feel that the Tennessee Waltz was made for claw hammer banjo. Well done.

Superb interpretation of The Tennessee Waltz - a heartbreaker

Well done! I would never have imagined it in clawhammer, much less playing it this way. Beautifull!

So this will be the first thing I learn to play. Thanks.

I've never like the sound of 3/4 time with clawhammer, but this changed my mind. This is incredibly sensitive and beautifully arranged. The fingering on the 5th string, as you take the melody up the neck, just gorgeous.

@BennyBleu 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! I agree, I think clawhamming a waltz can be so beatiful. 6/8 grooves can be really fun too 8^)

I sure wish I had the tab for that.

@BennyBleu 2 года назад

If I ever sit down to write it out, I'll post a link here. I don't use TAB, so it takes me a long time to write it out correctly. If it helps, you can slow the video way down using the settings in RU-vid.

@@BennyBleu You really nailed it. Don’t hear a waltz on banjo much, at least not without demolishing it. You did a fine job of bringing out the beauty of a beautiful song. Not a bad sounding box you got there, either!

0:29 what are you playing right there? Stole my sweetheart form me. I just can't get that to sound right

@BennyBleu Год назад

"Friend stole my" is a walk down of a C arpeggio - C, G, E, and then "sweetheart from me" walks the top note of a G7 chord (pinky at 3rd fret 1st string on 'sweet', move down to 2nd fret for 'heart' etc) down F, E, D, C.
