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 ;)
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.
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.
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).
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.

Great Talent , I'm sure Steve Martin would love to hang out with you and do a jam session , I'm sure that would be a cool experience , As well as many other people in the industry that has influence ,
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
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.
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!
Lmao
70 in June my first banjo arrived today....promised the wife I wouldn't buy anymore guitars...

What a nice personable clean cut young fella & he kicks on that banjo.
Haha well hes 13. He keeps playing like that hell have a beard like ZZtop
@@spookygasman5162 he knows he is 13 :/
@@Declancoles how would you know?
He's the type of person that "his voice doesn't match his body"
@@stjeep because it literally says hes 13 in the title?
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!
What a polite young man, great to see. I am sure he will be a star
Cute

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
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
That's awesome. That kid can play. Kids like him gives me hope for this country
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!✨🤗✨
The boy gave me oxygen i was looking for .....

Thanks l read and skip tp 3inutes loll
He has company for life . Playing is wonderful
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!

Banjo is such happy music and to see a lad if your age to play at such an excellent standard is amazing. Well done

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.

That joke made me breakdown.
Son. Roy Clark (RIP) is looking down from heaven at you and has a huge smile on his face. You go son. YEEE HAW!

Good job!
Fantastic !
He’s very talented I hope he gets lots of views
Unbelievable !
Its nice to see a young person play something besides their phone.
NOW THATS A STRAIGHT UP BANGER YO
Not my favorite banjo tune but it showcases the complexity of the instrument and his ability to master it.
Sounds great!
We need more like you.
Excellent playing.
I love this kid!!
Amazing!
Banjos are so damn cool
Very Good. Keep it up!
Awesome. My fingers would never move that fast ever!!
Felt the urge to do a spontaneous carchase
I love that he plays with no theatrics.
Great BAnjo Music
Great Talent , I'm sure Steve Martin would love to hang out with you and do a jam session , I'm sure that would be a cool experience , As well as many other people in the industry that has influence ,
I have that same banjo! Fantastic intrument
Great!!
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!
Really cute and talented. You should jam with the Sleepy man Banjo boys! 👍😉

Very talented young man. Nearly as good as Johnny Mizzone!
Wow!! Not only is he absolutely talented, but he is a doll baby!
Stay away from him

Brilliant.. needs to slow down a bit plus perform...smile as though he's enjoying himself
Thanks for Sharing 👍🥰

Reminds me of the banjo duel with one of the pirates in The Curse of Monkey Island

What song is this, does anyone have the tab?
Holy Moly...Good Lord Gertrude...Have Mercy, Miss Percy...that young man can "twang that thang"!!!!!!!
