Been playing guitar for a couple years, picked up one of these at a barbecue and I might as well have never played a stringed instrument with how I sounded. This is insanely impressive
Same experience here. Isn't it ridiculous how different a banjo is to a guitar? I had expected it to be at least vaguely similar to guitar, but boy, was I wrong!
My limited experience with banjo is it's all about the right hand.. whereas guitar is all about the left hand. Very little of what you learn on guitar carries over to banjo..and vice versa. Unless maybe if you play fingerstyle or something.
@@the195111 I did the same exact thing, after buying my 3rd guitar I told my wife I wouldn't buy anymore guitars except that I did buy another one...FOR HER!!! I played about 43-45 years ago and I turn 68 in November, but I digress. I saw a 5 string banjo for an excellent price and I bought it...and here I am looking for instruction ;)
@@daleradeleff900 As an adult learner, you might benefit from checking out Josh Turknett and his “Brainjo” system. I’m 68 and just starting banjo and he is the best I’ve found. He’s a neurologist so teaches music from a neuroscience/ neuroplasticity basis. ie how our brain learns. I’ve found it quite remarkable! Regards

Great job! I got a banjo when I was about fifteen but I never got the hang of it. I tried to play in the style of Lee Blair and the early jazz pioneers, but eventually sold it. Cheers!
I had the fortune of meeting Flatt and Scruggs when I was 16 in 1966. They came through late one night and stopped at the gas station where I worked in the summer. They were in a black limo and were on their way to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a concert. They entertained me a while with chat and music. It was wonderful.
Just imagine all of the other scary directions a 13 year old could be going nowadays, but this middle-schooler is enthralled with playing the 5 string banjo and Bluegrass music. What a blessing for his parents.
Something about the brain when you are young is very absorbing of information. I mean consider you learn a language by ear when you are just a baby. Many GM chess players are also trained from young ages.
Loved watching Jimmy Henley when he was a kid. Just saw him on a rerun of Hee Haw from the 70's when he was 12 or 13 just last week. So sad that he died. We were around the same age.
Well, the program is here for a reason. They're interested in the background and context. Otherwise it'd be a talent show. The performance is important, yes, but not the main part (it could be seen as one of the main parts, but discrediting explanations as "jaw-yapping" isn't true).
simply listen(as a little comparison) to 10-year old Jonny Millone from the Bluegrass band "sleepy men". There are a lot of videos of theirs here on UA-cam.

reminds me much of Foogy mt brerakdown, even the ending phrase but when you eally listen to so much other music, that 8 bar blues format , as a starting point is EVERYWERE but sounds great in my HT
Most impressed with the kid. The hostesses were annoying though. But the patience to hear the kid play was worth it. If he didn't limit himself, I imagine he's even better now.
The music that plays when I'm running from gettin a whoopin lmao.
I do
Not
HAHAHHA

If I started practicing 20 years ago, by now I would know how to hold a Banjo.
isn't that right!
70 in June my first banjo arrived today....promised the wife I wouldn't buy anymore guitars...

You're amazing! I am just now learning to play the recorder as an adult and it's hard! Congrats
He starts playing at 2:02
thanks!
Thank you. It is bad enough to have an interviewer but why an extra taking up playing time?!
Thanks
Thnx
Incredible. Prodigy plus hard work equals greatness EVERY time. I love that he is encouraging young kids to pick up an instrument. That's what he did!

Lucky you. I met Lester, I didn’t get to meet Earl.
Soooo lucky dude!
That is a very cool story. Thanks for sharing 👍
ted coffman: Did they pay for the gas?
I have no idea who any of those people are, but I'm glad you had a good time.
The video actually starts @ 2:01
Thanks a lot~!
Thanks 😃
Thanks these women make me wanna die
That's awesome. That kid can play. Kids like him gives me hope for this country
What a polite young man, great to see. I am sure he will be a star
Cute
He has company for life . Playing is wonderful
The young banjo player is great. Just keep on playing all your life. God bless you.

Young man you are incredible!!!! I'm just getting started. Wow!!!!!!!
Banjo is such happy music and to see a lad if your age to play at such an excellent standard is amazing. Well done
I have heard many kids under 13 play. The late Jimmy Henley was by far the most jaw dropping and he could pick the strings off a banjo at 6 years old.
I had no idea that he had passed! Just looked it up and found out that he died at the age of 56 from throat cancer. R.I.P. Jimmy Henley
@@bigdaddybrns9568 Godspeed jimmy!

As a Brit who doesn't see a lot of banjo's over hear, I love a banjo, the sound is so satisfying and this kid absolutely killed it 👍🏻💪🏻
Same here just guitars in england
he has a channel called pianjo player. You should see how good he is now. and his brother plays mandoline super good too. it is crazy
Half of the video is jaw yapping, let the kid play!
Thanks for that comment.I moved on thru to actual playing.
EXACTLY🙂! Amen, brother. Shut-up and HIT THE LICKS!✨🤗✨

Thanks l read and skip tp 3inutes loll
What an absolute star! He is going places!
Amazing!! What a talented beautiful young guy.
The problem with banjos is you have to be so picky.
i see what you did there
I enjoy eating copious amounts of expensive cheese.
I use a claw hammer on mine.
why are you picking on banjo's?
That joke made me breakdown.
lol he is massively famous now. this was when he was just little and got on the news, He wins competitions now
This is the coolest 13 yo in existence.
You never know when it's gonna be a banjo moment.
Hebat country dn enak didengar, saya suka musik country sejak Dulu hingga sekarang. Sukses selalu. SAKAM jejak dari Indonesia
Excellent.
I was very impressed by your performance.
I hope you have a good day and week.
From Japan.
Inspiring stuff for all ages! This young man is a virtuoso in the making.
get rid of the first 2 minutes of two women listening to themselves talk and it's ok.
Thanks to many comments pointing out this fact...;) I skipped the chatter! Thanks y'all
Son. Roy Clark (RIP) is looking down from heaven at you and has a huge smile on his face. You go son. YEEE HAW!
Great job. I wish they would show him playing first - the do the interview afterwards.
Brilliant.. needs to slow down a bit plus perform...smile as though he's enjoying himself
Thanks for Sharing 👍🥰

Nice Playing and Nice Gibson RB - 250 Mastertone Banjo
He’s very talented I hope he gets lots of views
Guys the music starts at @2:01
i love the sound of a banjo
i personally think banjos are so underrated, they are literally epic
Great talent.
That right hand! Those fingers and thumb were flying!!!!!
Felt the urge to do a spontaneous carchase
I love that he plays with no theatrics.
simply listen(as a little comparison) to 10-year old Jonny Millone from the Bluegrass band "sleepy men". There are a lot of videos of theirs here on UA-cam.
Not my favorite banjo tune but it showcases the complexity of the instrument and his ability to master it.
what a talented young man really good. best of luck
Excellent playing.
Is it just me, or the beginning of the riff of "Train 45" just "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" ?
Haven't checked yet but going to guess he has more than 11 subs now!
"...I came across this player Earl Scruggs." Kiddo, you will be doing that for many years to come...
A lifetime of fun ahead for this kid...
Ayden is so cool I’m surprised to see how well he can play the banjo
ABSOLUTELY MINDBLOWING!!!!!!
Talented young man.
Wow!
Good Luck!
If you are going to be influenced by anyone......Earl is the man! Well done Ayden, you rock!
Earl Scruggs would be so proud of this kid. He's amazing!
Amazing. And so polite.
ngl I actually like this.
whats with the captions about the US and Germany at the beginning?
Video starts at 2:00
Nice young man. We need lot more like him...

I have that same banjo! Fantastic intrument
his pinky is anchored behind the bridge wow, his picking is popping being that close
What song is this, does anyone have the tab?
reminds me much of Foogy mt brerakdown, even the ending phrase
but when you eally listen to so much other music,
that 8 bar blues format , as a starting point is EVERYWERE
but sounds great in my HT
Earl Scruggs wrote both of those tunes, so there you go. Well spotted, sir!
He came across a video, just randomly, of Earl. The best banjo player ever. Learn from the best young man.
I could do this, but I don't want to.
NARRATOR: He could not do this.
praise! That fella is GOOD!
@2:22 Playing Banjo looks like: "i was to stupid to learn guitar but iam fine with it"
Reminds me of the banjo duel with one of the pirates in The Curse of Monkey Island
Holy Moly...Good Lord Gertrude...Have Mercy, Miss Percy...that young man can "twang that thang"!!!!!!!
Great BAnjo Music
Looks like a Gibson Mastertone. Lucky boy .
Wow! Very talented!
Very much so!
Most impressed with the kid. The hostesses were annoying though. But the patience to hear the kid play was worth it. If he didn't limit himself, I imagine he's even better now.
AWESOME! I LOVE BANJOS.
THAT'S SOME REAL RUM SPITTIN' SPOON CLACKIN' KNEE SLAPPIN' BANJO PRO ACTION!!!
Just skip to 2:00 for the playing.
WOW 🎶🎶 WHAT A BLESSING AND INSPIRATION 🤗 GOD GIVEN TALENT 🎶🎶🙏🙏
I oddly enjoyed this! Came here after dreaming about playing one.
Awesome. My fingers would never move that fast ever!!
I heard a little bit of Foggy Mountain Breakdown
It’s flatt and Scruggs. Most of their songs have a little bit of it
