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.

UA-cam: Go watch this random video. David: Go grab a set of spoons. It is now 30 minutes later and I'm still sitting here playing spoons . . . . with a huge grin on my face.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 👍 👏
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.

This helped my OCD constant picking holes into my scalp and pulling out my hair. No fidget toy helped but then I remembered my grandpapi played spoons and I remembered liking it. Found this video and learned quickly. Now I focus all that energy and anxiety on popping off rhythm after rhythm! Thank you!
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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
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.
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
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.
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. 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for sharing this talent. My Appalachian roots are growing! Never thought I'd be able to do this. I'm still on baby steps, but I appreciate the patience and general knowledge you share in vid. You make it easy to follow and grasp (pun intended) the concept. Easier than chop sticks! (Still don't have that knack.) Taking time to explain each step. Thanks again, this will be hanging out in my Library for long time now.🥄🥄
This is awesome. I had a past life remembrance because of this. I remember someone teaching to play spoons in another life time! It was AWESOME to have that memory. so thank you. :)
Oh my! This was so much fun! Finally an instrument I can play, yay!!! At no cost either. You are a marvelous teacher, thank you for the joy of a new skill!

Great calming way of teaching
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
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.
This pops on my UA-cam like once a year....and I have to give it a try all over again every time.
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!
