On the first date in a restaurant
Girl: I like music
Me sitting next to her grabbing two spoons: 14:11
That's pretty much a guarantee in her pants especially if she likes country/folk music lol
with the huge "COMPLETE DVD AVAILABLE AT HOMESPUNTAPES.COM" text manifesting out of thin air, if she's at least not even impressed then she was never meant to be yours.
"What kind of instrument do you play?"
Me: It's complicated.
lol
I have cat videos lmao
except its possibly the least complicated
No. it's literally a fucking spoon, Nothing complicated about that.
@maximus wheeler those dislikes do nothing, assbag.

This is one of those "how hard can it be" then "oh" things. This guy is an excellent instructor.
This guy knows how to teach. I felt like he was personally instructing me through this video.

I should be sleeping but here I am watching some southern lad teach me how to play the spoons
I think this guy has passed the threshold into bloke his a bit old for lad
Not just some southern lad- an Grammy winning southern lad
#Me too .... 🤣
Why are you so sure he's southern?
Does not sound like it.
Same here. Boy, my parents are gonna hate me after school tomorrow once I start playing! 😅
(In a job interview)
Interviewer: so what kind of skills do you have.
Me: pulls out a set of spoon.
Me: should be studying
Me tomorrow: I don’t know how to calculate standard deviation but I’m a spoons wizard.
lol
Yoo I swear this guy came to my elementary school as a guest speaker when I was a kid as and he chose me for a demonstration
I wish I was there
We’re you big spoon or little spoon
I'm supposed to study medicinal chemistry and I'm watching how to play spoons.. what the hells am I doing.
That's a mood 😂
CHORTLES!!!
Welcome to you tube ha ha
Writing a paper for law school here. Can relate.
Trust me, you're making good choices.
As a Russian i find this fascinating.
Wa play wooden spoons at elementary school orchestras.
Yes, but can you play smoke under water on your spoons?
yeah, buddy. In Ukraine we played wooden spoons in my musical lesson at school, it was my 1-st instrument)
@@songwinik6170 cool!
@Айдар Шакиров можно одной
Now I need the soviet anthem but if it was bluegrass.
i am currently quarantine and it is 3 am. i have convinced myself that i will master this skill by the time the world returns. YOU WILL HEAR FROM ME
How's it going?
Have you mastered the spoons?
What's the haps, Jack? How's the spooning going?
its weird seeing a comment from a year ago, still talking about quarantine. a year is a long time

I am British, I am in 2019 and I am learning to play the spoons from THIS AMAZING SOUTHERN MAN
My wife caught me trying out spoons and yelled : When are you going to grow up ?
I laughed my ass off the chair ^^
André Faust you’ve got a good wife 😂
She sounds like a bitch. lol
Shame shes serious
Should of said "I'll have you know, this fine gentlemen has don't this for a living (along other instruments)."
Wife secretly love the boyish side to their husbands.
Why am I here? I dont even ha-
Wait
I am so glad this randomly showed up in my recommendations. I have been happily playing spoons for like an hour 😄
It looked magical, then he slows it down, explains it, makes it understandable, almost appearing easy, by watching, then he starts playing, and it becomes magical, again. Genius. Bravo.
Happy little spoons!
Got held up at customs about my spoons in my bag when I was in Ireland. I said I play, and this Irish fellow brought out two spoons and said me too! And two other guys joined in and were like “I have a banjo out back and he has a harmonica, you wanna play?” And that’s my bucking story with border security in Ireland.
Jasper Cherry~~~~that’s AWESOME!!
And then everyone stood up and clapped
Best collab in history
Fake and gay
Good thing you were in Ireland.
I just watched a 14 minute video showing how to play spoons. And I don't regret it
me: haha these are stupid
him: does a spoon roll
me: WOAH WTF U HAVE MY ATTENTION
You had my curiosity now you have my attention
Dentist: "So, how did you chip your tooth?"
Me: 14:08
😂😂😂😂😂
Love it!
Man, he explains so well! And it Djents too!
but does it 0-3-5
Now I need to do a cover of meshuggah - bleed on spoons
I love playing the spoons, I was taught by a fellow waitress while I was waitressing in Halpins in Cork. Once I was searched at the airport and they asked me what the two silver soup spoons were doing in my handbag. I replied 'they're for percussion' and the security guy said 'prove it'.. and so I played a spoon solo at customs.
C
Lowanna L that's really funny
Lowanna L that's weird. Spoons are very legal!! :)
Lowanna L wtf. Silver dints and dings
Tad Pole legal but they r metal
i cant wait to bust out a face melting spoon solo this thanksgiving
Don’t know why this is my recommended but it’s gold
I'm 33 and was privileged to meet David Holt when I was in elementary school. He came and played for us and also told us stories. I will never forget that.
Guy really feels like a nice person to chat with
Ah yes, another thing I've learned to annoy my co workers.
lol
Dwight, is that you?
Jim?
@@RajeetGangopadhyay lmao bro we made the same comment but I thought about Jim. Dwight never does anything to bother people, that's Jimmy. Dwight always respects himself
dog whistle hurts my ears
The day after I learned how to become a musician, “How the hell did I get a bruised and welted thigh?!”
Her: "So do you play any instruments?"
Me:
It's impressive if you can play it!
Me: na, but I do play utensils
@@alecfleming373 *implying that this isn't an instrument*
@@Michael-es4dt Right, an instrument of mass annoyance?
On a date in a restaurant you jsut steal her spoon and play it
I have been a percussionist for decades, and and have never tried playing the spoons. Now I will. Rock'n vid. Thanks.
I sincerely wish we hear from Richard and hes spoonin career situation.
Sad to find out he had passed away. My grandson and I are learning to play dance things together and David's instructions have been very helpful
I'm reading this two years later and David Holt is still living.
Okay you're either a time traveler or high because he's still alive and well
I'm a small Hispanic woman who's about to learn to play the spoons at 2 am
Edit:
I WENT TO GET SOME SPOONS AND LET ME TELL YA. THIS IS INCREDIBLE
Edit 2: my fiance apparently can sleep through anything.
Edit 3: my my dog, is not a happy pupper.
Me: Got nothing to do.
UA-cam´s Algorythm: Hey,wanna see a 8 Year Old "How to play the Spoons" Video?
And I' m not mad
*spoon noises intensify*
Same here and the algorithm has never been so right
Yes
Sure why not
Works perfect to distract you from your break up
Until you remember spooning.
@@BartNoble underrated comment
@@BartNoble god dammit

Fuck dude, saaaaame
interviewer: why should we hire you?

I didn't know Will Ferrel played the banjo so well.
With these you can play The dark side of the spoon
Andrea Calì underrated comment

Andrea Calì all you have to do is leave the lighter on it too long... sorry, that was messed up.

Don't you mean it will come in "spoony"
@@printstrname5346 shut up before I spoon you
@@charlesbread117 *_seductively_* - "That's hot..."
Mr. Holt, thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I spent 14 minutes of my life watching technique on the spoons..
Actually do it instead of just watching :) you'd be surprised at what you can do
You had invested it*
It was worth it in my opinion
I need to go find some spoons...
And 36 seconds
TheLoloDude 14 minutes well spent

It's 4am and I just learned how to play the spoons...fml
David Holt is an American folk treasure!
The 'Spoon' tutorial that I was looking for. I always like to learn to play the spoon's the right way . now i know . Thank you. now you need to teach the Harmonica. Great video.
As a professional chef who has experienced much high-level fine dining, spoons have been my most important tools for the past many years. I think the spoon you highlighted as a poor choice for playing was from the same Oneida set that I own and love for cooking. I never pursued music despite it being deeply entrenched in my soul, and I've tried to learn spoons before but this video was amazingly informative and for the first time I now understand the basics of spoonery.
I just play the tongs
@@jacobbower7356 I strongly recommend spending time in a spoon kitchen. Ultra fine dining isn't for everyone, but knowing the skills of tong-free kitchens will help you wherever yer at.
That was real cool. I'm by no means from a geographical area that would have me listening or eager to learn how to play the spoons. I'm from Brooklyn Ny. However, I had an uncle Abe who played the spoons once in awhile, when we visited my mother sister Lorraine. I used to look forward to our visits, just to watch him perform. That was 40 years ago, yet it has still stuck with me. Today I had a few relatives over and we had our young children sitting around us while we listened to some folk Christmas music. There's no particular reason why a folk song was playing... just by chance. Anyway- I was feeling goofy so I grabbed two spoons joking around, and I began to play them. Having no clue how to do it, Tommy Ken amazement, I was killing it. I must have watched closely and picked it up. So funny. Anyway, that inspired me to look to see if I was indeed doing it correctly. Sure enough, I was. I think I may practice a little and surprise everyone for my Christmas Eve family party.
Merry Christmas Everyone- and a very happy and healthy new year as well.
Tom.
Gibborim Black nice story!! I enjoyed reading a story about people having a good time with their family
Gibborim Black call
I don't know how I ended up here, but what I know now is playing the spoons
You’re a very good teacher, my man. I’m sure there’s a lot of history in connection with these utensils. It’s important to preserve it!
This wasn't the 'Spoon' tutorial that I was looking for...
Oh my god.
Oh shiit🤣
Storm trooper- “this isn’t the spoon tutorial your looking for”

KISS YA NECK
HEEEEEEEEEEELL YEEEAH
@@user-so9hf3ji7h WHAT?
Great calming way of teaching
google in my search history: what is spooning?
google again: This video.
10years later and this is in my recommendations lol thanks UA-cam was a great 14 minutes reminded me of going to festivals with my late grandfather and watching him jigging on the dance floor while the band played the red River jig and the spoons and fiddle going together so well, this video brought back lost of nostalgic memories thanks
Not only did I enjoy your content, but also enjoyed watching you teach; you have a gift for that.
"once you get that, everything else is gravy" well, good thing i have two spoons handy LOL XD
Friend: Hey, do you play any instrument?
Me: Yeah
Friend: What instrument?
Also me: *「The S P O O N S」*
I must say this is definitely one of the most enjoyable tutorials I've ever seen!
Memories of my uncle Jack playing
the spoons 59 yrs ago absolutely memorable & unforgettable thank you heaps !!! Jack Holt, will continue
watching & have decided to learn how to play the spoons 👍 👏
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
My cow:
UA-cam recommended: Here's how you play the spoons
@Amin Abadmood I think he means his wife
Morkamino seriously XD
What?
Stfu
Worth it.
This pops on my UA-cam like once a year....and I have to give it a try all over again every time.
I’m supposed to be asleep, how did I even get here? It’s 12 am and I just watched a video on how to play the spoons and I don’t regret it
So Im a guitarplayer and I somehow ended up here and im not disappointed.
Same
Same
This is the basics, I think learning about blue grass music and folk music opens horizons as a musician, also there is some pretty sick licks and riffs in blue grass and folk music lol
Me too!!
12 AM: One more video
2 AM:
A really good teacher. Straight forward. No extra info that you dont need.
Excellent teacher!!! Found this when looking up Abby the spoon lady. She's excellent, not sure she teaches it as well as this guy, but she sure can play them spoons. Man when he plays them spoons and mouth harp, that sounded bomb. He's got rhythm. He from down south? Not that us northerners not have rhythm. I'm from the purple city, we got rhythm. 💜💜💜
Nice to see you paying attention to this part of our culture without having to read music
Pot
Porno
It's good to read music, I learned in vacation bible school.
I am playing percussion in a stage version of Mary Poppins and one of the songs calls for spoons. This video helped a lot. You are a good teacher. Thanks.
Protip: Don't try this when eating cereal.
I laugh, i like!
This man needs to teach every instrument.. it’s so easy to understand
I'm here because of big marvel spoon video😂
ME TOO HAHHAHA
PARK CHAEYOUNG NOTICE ME PLS same
Me too ! XDDDD
SAMEEEE
Wow..that was great!! I'm a drummer and now I can play spoons to whenever I feel the need to bring out my Okie roots. Thanks David!
Nobody :
UA-cam : Hey dude wanna learn how to play the Spoons ?
Me: Hell yeah !!!!!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you David for a very clear description of how to play. You're a born teacher as well as a great musician!
Thank you for sharing. You are a very good teacher. My granddaughter and I are going to practice practice. Really enjoyed your video.
*Gravy = Adjective*
And formal swear
Thats just how it works.
It's like buffalo
My grandma taught me how to play the spoons when I was about 10. She's a wild spirit :)
This guy's teaching skills are absolutely amazing!!! He's unreal! Imagine him teaching all his other instruments as well? THANK YOU!!
This is definitely going on my "bucket list". Thank you, David. You put a smile on my face!
I love this guy!! Very talented. Very calm.
"You're the BACkground musician"
So no solo spoonists?
lol
Sylvester McCoy would love to prove that
grew with this in the house represent Appalachia
it’s 2019 and i’m supposed to be sleeping why am I here
OMG it's the current year!
at 6:50 when the harmonica comes in... this man is a wizard
This is beautiful. Culture, love, freedom family and most importantly God. This is American!
Thank you, David, from the bottom of my heart!!!
Well done David. I always wanted to be able to play the spoons and had a few cracks at it. Your video was just what I needed. You are an excellent teacher by the way.
When I get home I’m definitely stealing my wife’s best spoons from her collection!
Wow!!! So very much enjoyed watching and listening to this. A very good friend of mine, who is now sadly deceased, used to enjoy playing the spoons. Her entire family was musical and they'd play together. As friends, our group would always try to get Mary to get her spoons out and play, and then teach us how to do it. She'd laugh and laugh, then finally get her spoons out and show us....mostly her "fancy" moves, designed to impress the kids, and she'd laugh and laugh!!! God bless Mary and may she forever rest in peace with her favorite set of spoons!! Thank you for this wonderful video and you can bet that I'll be trying this out!!!
Wow! I got here because of the Spoon Lady, who I thought was just an exotic person. Then I learn that spoons are actually instruments that are used by some musicians. Then you mention "play bones" and a quick search in UA-cam introduces me to A Graham Hargrove and a new music world! I´m delighted at all the diversity that there exists in the world! Thanks for this video.
Thanks mate, now I can roleplay as a spoon playing bard in DnD :D
Eyyy, my man. I plan playing as a cowboy-flavored character, so I’m learning a few things to give it a fuller feel.
Really cool,teacher!!! I do not understand haters,but haters will always be sadly.THUMBS UP for sure,from me! It really helped me to learn!
Oh my Lord! This is probably the best video ever produced on UA-cam! I absolutely adore it!
Thanks for uploading this treasure! Everything from here is gravy.
When you forgot to bring your instrument for the talent show:
