Undone in Sorrow -- clawhammer banjo with tablature

Corresponding tab is available on the Banjo Hangout: www.hangoutsto...
Demo video of the way Ola Belle Reed played this song (which she wrote), or at least this as close as I can get to it. Key of G with banjo tuned in standard G (gDGBD). There are some tricky maneuvers in this arrangement, but they are worth the trouble once you get them.
I have also tabbed a somewhat simplified version that still retains much of the essence of OBR's playing: www.hangoutsto...

Thank you Jack,I have just recently found Ola Belle Reed and I am taken by her mournful sound and this is a great tune!She was so amazing and very much a part of banjo lore....in my opinion of course.

Thank you Jim. I have a somewhat simpler version of this song too, but I thought I would put a fully embellished OBR version out there so that folks can get a sense of some of her banjo craft. I would concur with your opinion of OBR!

Thanks, I downloaded both from hangout before finding video

[@bleachyberserko4191]

I could listen to that on a big ol' loop for a long while

[@banjojack]

Thanks!

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

So nice and thanks for including and easier version for us beginners :)

[@banjojack]

Thanks, and I all but forgot that I linked to the simplified tab, lol! Glad you found it. It's a quirky melody, so give your self some time to internalize it and get worked out.

Hi Jack! Thanks for your videos they are so helpful! Would you consider making a clawhammer video on the song Colored Aristocracy, Taj Mahal version? 😀

[@banjercat]

Thanks Brandon!

@@banjojack great job playing, is there a resource for a tab for this? ( fairly easy tab?) this is the kind of playing that really inspires me

[@banjojack]

@@banjercat Brandon, in the description above I have linked to both a tab for how I play it in this video and a somewhat simplified version. Both are in my tab collection on the Banjo Hangout.

@@banjojack thank you! I will look for it!
