Love how they're all scrambling at the end to get out of the rain - gives it an earthy feeling. Sarah is such a pro - never bothered her performance one bit.
Great tune, beautifully performed. I particularly love that octave mandolin. It really complements her voice. It has a deep but mysterious sound that fills out the lower range.
I'm always amazed that I can't tell if she's singing live or it's a studio recording when TH-cam is playing in the background. I haven't listened to one artist so much since I discovered James Taylor (and that was a LONG time ago!).
+lertyuis It's not a guitar. It's an octave mandolin. It's usual mandolin tuning of GDAE (from low string to high string) with the string pairs tuned unison, except an octave lower than with the "regular-size" mandolin.
I was wondering about the instrument too. It has more a guitar sound versus the twangy and thinner sound of a mandolin. Even the Octave Mandos I've heard still have a mando sound just lower. Whatever it is she makes it work beautifully.

Guy Faulkes I know the difference. I play a 22.72” scale length instrument tuned to GDAE, and a 30” instrument tuned to CGDA. I just thought Sarah’s instrument sounded much lower in this video than, for instance, Eva Holbrook’s octave or Sierra Hull’s octave.
This is my favorite kind of music - a simple arrangement that lets the complexity of the melody and lyrics to shine.
Sarah Jarosz is so freaking good!
Such an underrated artist. So good!
Sarah never ceases to amaze her audience with the complexity of her musical prowess.

Everything, from the song, the guitar (or whatever), the artist and the environment... is just beautiful.
It is an Octave Mandolin
One of the greatest talents of this century
And this is what I call music. Love Sarah Jarosz!
I love this woman. "I can hear you knocking on the door"
Great tune, beautifully performed. I particularly love that octave mandolin. It really complements her voice. It has a deep but mysterious sound that fills out the lower range.
I can absolutely dig this. Excellent.
Been proficient with mandolin since 9 yrs. old ; saw performance on CBS Saturday Morning. Love her and Debra Clark . Good luck at Grammy Awards ☝.
Scuse my language but i fucking love that song, earthy and gutsy.
I love this song~✨
Incredible! I love this Gal, I love her guitar!
She's fantastic
Just saw her in person. Really Good!!!
Troubador!! we were there, awesome show

Awesome talent!
Amazing!!!💖

Oh wow. You are a natural.
Very nice again!!
Sarah is one cool lady.
she's so much cooler than any of the Sarahs that I ever dated...

You said it!
"Tin soilders and Nixon's coming"

What kind of guitar is that?
Yes, it worked.

Any idea what her guitar tuning is?

I see now. Thanks. Sounds like she might have it tuned down to D minor.

in the middle of the night again
still water and the birds don’t sing
cool gin in the back room humming
medicating for the trouble that’s coming
walls rattle like a diesel freighter
blood races like a wave
this house wasn’t meant for strangers
but you come knocking anyway
i can hear you knocking on the door
i won’t leave it open for you anymore
i can hear you knocking on the door
knocking on the door of the house of mercy
don’t try and change my mind
that knock gets louder all the time
don’t try and wear me down
you’ll never get inside this town
underneath that shirt you’re wearing
strained muscles and a heart of stone
double-crossing like a wild chameleon
you make me want to be alone
i can hear you knocking on the door
i won’t leave it open for you anymore
i can hear you knocking on the door
knocking on the door of the house of mercy
don’t try and change my mind
that knock gets louder all the time
don’t try and wear me down
you’ll never get inside this town
i can hear you knocking on the door
i won’t leave it open for you anymore
i can hear you knocking on the door
knocking on the door of the house of mercy
A mandocello? Alt.
tuning?
Octave mandolin
I know how to pronounce your name in America as YA - roesh, but how do you prefer to pronounce it?
I think this is the first time I've seen someone play a mandocello.
It's an octave mandolin, not mandocello. Similar but different.
Guy Faulkes I know the difference. I play a 22.72” scale length instrument tuned to GDAE, and a 30” instrument tuned to CGDA. I just thought Sarah’s instrument sounded much lower in this video than, for instance, Eva Holbrook’s octave or Sierra Hull’s octave.
