😂 right!
The fact that you make playing spoons look so fluid and natural is what make watching you play so very mesmerizing.
"Spoons are made for stirring coffee"
*shows us what else they can do*
Such a rebel lol
My grandmother played spoons. She tried to teach me, but I never could quite get the hang of it. This is a great explanation. ♥️
Same
Everyone right now is raiding their cutlery drawer. Lol
I think I have tried every spoon in the draw but nothing comes close to the way Abby plays them spoons. 😊
IKR, I so am!!🥄❤
Lmbo Me too!!!
Ditto! I think I need to find some spoons without the flared handles that I have. Makes it harder to hold in the proper place (or maybe that just me!)
Lol.....yep. wife keeps asking where our spoons are....😂
My grandkids call me ‘Maw’ and I I’ve played the spoons for years (for fun) . I love listening to you. Such a pure soul🥄 🎶
Right on Abby, you have great Rhythm. I’m a Drummer and Love your Music. Thanks for sharing your technique. Percussion Rocks and so do you. 🙏🏼
My Dad played spoons. Thank you for the lesson, made me remember him showing me when I was young. Love your playing of spoons Abby, you are blessed with talent.
Cool. It was a forgotten art. Abbey brought it back.
Reg H My late dad played the spoons too, I think he learned in prisoner of war camp WW2. I wish I took more notice of him. I’m guessing they wanted to make music and all they had were spoons! Very creative way to amuse yourself and others. Wow Abby is a true artist ♥️
There's definitely a shortage of musical spoons tutorials on YT. It would be greatly received if you of all spoon players were to create a couple instructional videos. Thank you for this, this simple little video right here clarifies something I wasn't sure about.
She just showed you. It's like guitar, you either grab it and run with it - or not lol. Seriously, if you can master what she showed you, the rest should come to you.
Yea because banging two spoons together is soooo damn hard
That just triggered a coffee craving.
Bob Donovan so true brother
THANK YOU!!! That was very sweet of you to show us. Much appreciated! I love your playing. And your videos.
Abby, you are a awesome lady ! If more people would take a step back in time and play some music , it would be great. I remember as a child as long as someone could play a guitar or something , there was always fun and laughter. People enjoyed hanging out and spending time together. God bless
You’re what inspired me to learn to play the spoons some years ago! It’s fantastic to finally see a video from you getting into more of the technique involved. It can be quite hard to understand when i’m watching them go 90 miles an hour on a street corner!
thanks so much, i have struggled playing music all my life because I think too much and don't let myself go, your video helped a lot to keep it simple and reiterate it several times so it is remembered. Thanks for your inspirational music and for sharing your talent and efforts.
Thanks, Abby! After watching you play, all I can think is, "I wana learn to play the spoons!"🥄🎶
Wow! It's like tap dancing with your hands! Thank you Spoon Lady!☺
I 💘 love your God given talent Ms Abby please keep the 🎥 coming 👍😀
You make it look so easy!!
Thanks for doing this!
Hugs from Michigan
Extremely awesome and you make it look so easy Ms.Abby...but that's because you're a pro at it! Your smile is beautiful. Hugs from Idaho
Always enjoy watching you, RESPECT from Missouri
My cousin played the spoons, where ever he went his spoons were in his pocket and at any moment or if asked he would pull them out and play beautiful music.
I love your bells!
That big one on your right is just gorgeous.
I am a fitness guy from Turkey, not usually into music,or spoons, or anything related to your channel, yet, I enjoy your videos! Thanks..
Its the flare in which you play them....not just that you play them it's that personal flair that makes it great!!! Thank you!!!
Abby, desde el otro lado del mundo te digo :
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR ENSEÑARNOS CON TANTA HUMILDAD ❤️ 🇦🇷
There is an undeniable magic within your capacity for music. Thank you for being so raw and real, then willing to share it with the rest of the world. Much love from the cascades.
I don't care if this is seen or gets likes, but you are a very special lady! Thank you for being you! What you do with spoons is amazing as is your band! Please keep going you Angel!
That’s all there is to it - the rest is up to your body flow. Best “how to play spoons” instructional video ever recorded. That’s how I was taught to play: “Hold the bottom one right and let the top one do the talking.” Love you Abby - so glad you are a human that exists.
And people say "you can't get anything free anymore"-- yet here is priceless instruction from a master musician!!! just add practice:)
She makes it looks so easy. I remember watching this a few years back. Bravo 👏🤗
I’ve been barely learning for about 6 months now, started with this series, but I got a really colourful spoon for a birthday last year, I like to tell people that one’s my magical spoon but the other one’s just regular a tablespoon
thank you so much for passing on your knowledge
Abby I was looking around on UA-cam and wasn't really looking for any particular thing and then a video with you playing spoons and boom I'm hooked. Abby I just love how you have always looked at the bright sides of things .and I love how that you never judge anyone about appearance and beliefs .Abby may God continue to bless you and keep you in his arms. God be with you always I love you my sister in Christ.
Amen & AMEN!!! I cannot even tell you how many times I have shared your videos; you have an amazing talent!! I love your self confidence!!! Now, I won’t be able to tell you how many times I’m goin to share this video; thanks for sharing your wisdom ❣️
I absolutely love your originality. You are a true inspiration for musicians worldwide . Thank you.
I love your spoons. This is my favourite video of yours. You make my life worth living when I am buried under the blues. You make my day shine when the clouds hide my happiness.
I love watching you play!! I grew up listening to my Uncle play spoons and it's such a comfort to hear you and your talent!! Thank you for the videos!! ❤❤❤❤
I love you Abbey, I was taught the spoons when I was a kid. I never mastered them though. I love your ability to push on through. My aunty Audrey would think you were,/are a gem. She taught me to never give up.
The Lord
Saved you to my play list
Spoon playing by Abby
Love it ,my mom played the spoons a few times when I was a kid . Asked why she didn't play all the time , said people aren't interested in it anymore 😕 this was back in the 1960's
How does anyone dislike this video .... it has some coffee, spoons, ink, dinger bells ..... this is as real as it gets ...... everyday people sharing what they know !!!
You have the most beautiful story telling voice. Very soothing and kind.
You are an incredible woman with a courageous and beautifly talented spirit and perhaps old soul. Too few are self realized and you shine through your videos. I am grateful you're in the World.
Thank you for sharing your spoon technique. I love listening to you play, and I love all the bells on the table ❤️
Girl - u have a very effective way of teaching. Just perfect.
You're an amazing lady. You bring joy to so many people. God bless you.
I grew up in a verry musical family and my dad could play anything that makes music including spoons though hese biggest love was a guitar.. man he could make a guitar talk lol..but one night he grabbed two table spoons and made the most amazing beat wid em I've never agen seen till this mam.. ur amazing and much respect 😉👍
Thank you for the first listen in spoons. Abby, I admire you.
Love and hugs.🌷❤️
Fantástico, fantástica a habilidade da Abby! Admiração total!
as a blacksmith apprentice, your anvil & hammer metaphor has me extra excited about trying this. thank you for spreading the light. one love
My grandmother used to play the spoons. She used to tape the handles together then bend the spoon parts so they were separated a little. That's the way she was thought, and that's the way I play them. Every time I see somebody or I'm playing them, I always remember sitting around with her and the family, singing songs and playing the spoons
Your gifted by God, and the fact that you're naturally sharing the musical art, especially enhances your love of music! GBY
As simple as that, and yet ..... not simple at all. Abby, you rock!
Your tutorial is the best I've seen. Gotta go and try it now...thanks! 🥄🥄
Folks...you're freakin getting a free lesson from the world's best spoon player!! 👍
Thank you Abby. I used to play a bit as a kid. Think I'll try again. But nothing like your playing! It is wonderful!!!
Miss Abby I absolutely love watching you play the spoons! You are awesome ❤️❤️
Watching you play and your facial expressions makes me smile. You’re so fluid and in tune with the music and vibe.
Love it. I saw you playing and I got the spoons out again. Forgot how much fun it is to play them. I am really not good at it anymore but it is so much fun. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are wonderfully talented and kind. Thank you for sharing your gift! I enjoy very much listening to you play your musical spoons. God bless you richly, Abby!
Thank you so much for sharing your talent. My son is 8 and loves playing music. You are such an incredible inspiration.
Love watching and listening to you play!
Very cool to see up close. You have such a gift for rhythms and music. I could watch u play all day.
This is just to mesmerizing. Simple spoons. Who'd have thought..? Deepest admiration from downtown NYC...
I love youtube. You can find a tutorial for literally anything. Short and to the point. Thank you
I’ve been learning to play the spoons for the past year and just came across your videos!! Thank you so much for keeping this art form alive❤️❤️
Neat. She's wonderful musician. Love listening to her playing.
Spoon lady you are awesome.No one can play the spoons like you! No one!
So helpful, you can tell that she genuinely cares…very endearing quality
Thank you! My son and I really enjoy watching you play. He is already raiding my spoon drawer.

You're a good teacher. Thank you so much. Clear, concise, and great video. Thanks again.
Thank you MS Abby you are fantastic. God bless all you do. ☮️
OMG! Y’all are so cool! I’ve always wondered and you just made my day! ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
What a fantastic human. Respect from Brazil!
Abby, dear, you are a true treasure!
Love your bell collection. Thanks for sharing.
I've been trapped in hotels, traveling away from family for work for about 9 mo. (since the who covid thing kicked off) and found my self spiraling through youtube a while back, 'learning to play the spoons'. Somehow I never landed on your content till today but you just fixed what probably 4-8 other 'instructors' had me doing in a wildly uncomfortable manner. (top spoon, where you had it, 2nd spoon 1 finger down). Thank you!
It takes a special Musician like You to Master this craft … thank you for sharing your gift
You are amazing Abby ,do not ever forget ,you are unique .❤
Thank you for sharing this so that others can learn. Have truly enjoyed watching your videos. You inspire people.
Very cool. Love watching you play. Love the sound.
EVERYthing you do helps, Miss Abby 🙌
Thanks I watch all your videos and it blows my mind how you do it . That was very nice. God Bless you
Thank you. Yes it helps. Love your playing.
Loved it, great simple, straightforward, demystifying explanation. I’m now going to give this a try! Many thanks.
We love what an inspiration you are~ Trying to encourage more music in our little fishing town, gonna get spoons, harmonicas, and other instruments and turn this little un housed problem around!!! Amerikan Gypsies. Yes yes yeeesss love is the answer and you are part of the change. Carry on my beauty..
Tight, loose, and some dose of pure art!
Thank you Abby I've always wondered how spoons are played now I'll give it a try.
Ever since you (Abby) started spreading your good word , other people (quote "spoonplayrs) have been coming out of the woodwork.
Us watchers are here for you girl...
Keep on spooning
Awesome that you shared this...I love watching and hearing you play along with Chris...I hope to see you in person one day...
Play on!!!❤️
Lol spoons in your hands become beautiful music, so lovely,
You’re amazing! You do a wonderful job explaining your talent. Thank you for sharing it with the world. ❤️
I love how you explain things!
I love to learn something new every day.... thank you! My grandchildren and I are going to try this.
so awesome. you are awesome. love watching you all play
Thanks so much Abby! Please keep adding more how to videos. anything you can think of.
I'm amazed by the different tones you can get out of them. You're very clever.
I have seen your playing on youtube for awhile now ran across lesson 5 a few min. ago I know what I will be doing the rest of the night Love the lessons also I like Bens idea of hammering out a pair of spoons I have my grandfathers old forage and am just now trying to relearn what he taught me decades ago thanks for lessons ROJO
My pop had a friend who played the spoons...bones..heck anything that rattled. Thanks for bringing back happy memories. RIP Cisco Kid.
You are just the most awesome amazing person love your personality and your stories you have truly lived more than the majority of people will live in a lifetime. Much respect and love for you thank you for being you.
Thank you. I was holding the bottom one between my middle finger and my pointer finger, and the top between my pointer and thumb, thus causing me to hold the top too tightly, and it was painful to play that way. I'm using your technique of grip now. Sounds so much better.
