I was Troy‘s friend and neighbor in Goodlettsville Tennessee for over 10 years. He’s the real deal .

[@oddprimemusic]

That look at 1:38 always gets me.. "You seeing this shit?"

[@eternallife9786]

That's called banjo flipping and he gets that from an old time performer called Uncle Dave Macon

[@jameslester3861]

I saw him do that on Marty Stuart’s show years ago paying Grandfather’s Clock and I couldn’t figure how’s the music playing while he’s flipping the banjo around.🤔

[@josephdeveau4150]

If you ran into this guy and he played banjo for you...nobody would believe what you were telling them he did. You'd probably think you just met some kind of hillbilly woodland spirit that was made out of tree bark and mountains.

[@Squareheaddude]

Simply amazing! When he is tossing and flipping and playing the banjo was pure magic!

[@RubbelisPro]

I forgot about this one! Really good stuff.

[@mkxlnt5174]

Best episode yet. Bunch of metalheads going to drop their guitars today guaranteed.

Leroy is awesome. Matt, you should try getting Marty Stuart and/or Kenny Vaughan on Guitar Moves.

[@danielmartinez0422]

I wished banjo was a more prominent instrument in the music industry, thing slaps

[@mwood3658]

These are awesome

[@Cognitivevortex]

I want more of this guy

[@andrewarsenault1906]

Uncle Dave Macon does a lot of that stuff!

[@MarkDally]

Awesome episode!! More guitarists should learn banjo. Especially ‘Clawhammer’. I probably play more Banjer than guitar nowadays. It’s a seriously cool and fun instrument. Thank you for giving it some props!!

[@Haveadose]

Seen this Legend with the Marty Stuart Show, what a a night

[@shonuffLA]

[@eternallife9786]

He does that Uncle Dave Macon where he flips the banjo in the air that always baffles me
