Banjo kid: Somebody hold my juice box while I beat a confession outta this banjo.
LMAO!
Good one! 😆
FABULOUS COMMENT!😂
His name is Jonny! They are such sweet people and an amazing family! Me and my family are friends with them and their dad! they played at my sweet 16 in 2016 you can look it up on their TH-cam. I’ve been friends with em since 2015! :)
Banjo Kid: Gets all the Attention.
Violin & Guitar Kid: Hol' our Moonshine!
LMAOOO
Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo I do not know what that means
but that’s illegal
@Vortex x Same instrument :) Just different names depending on how they are played
Yes, in modern bluegrass everyone is impressed with the banjo for some reason. Meanwhile, fiddlers have the most difficult job.
Music to listen to while driving on a high speed chase from the cops after a bank robbery
both your's and the cop's cars break down, but it's next to a train track with hand cars on them
Or delivering a load of moonshine
This made my day!
🤣🤣
Or on horses
Me when I was 8: Eating fruit roll ups
These kids:
lol, hek yeah!
😁
@Daniel Daly k
@Daniel Daly k
all thats missing is one big bar fight
and a bass!
Cue Steven Seagall launching someone through a window....
Or a car chase on a dirt road
Stereotypes from people who probably use phrases like “people of color,” “White Privilege,” etc, etc.
And of course no one cares when an a show business elitist think exploiting children so the Walton family, and their puppets like Hillary and Bill Clinton and get themselves power and wealth by pretending they give a rats ass about working underdogs, is appropriate material for his monologue.
People in “fly over country,” have watched since the 1960s while their communities have been destroyed by the money changers and their Congressional, Judicial, and Executive Branch Minions forced workers to train foreign workers to do their jobs, closed their plants, crated the equipment inside,and shipped anywhere they could to get beyond the reach of fair labor laws, safety rules and regulations, pollution controls, and pensions. Then they turned around and sold the often substandard merch (because uneducated barefoot 9 year olds who work 66 hours a week, week in and week out, they just don’t know how to produce the quality.
So go ahead and mock fly over country, and Trump supporters who want manufacturing of America needs.*•
Lol you are god damn right
And me, at that age, so proud of myself for figuring out you could fix a Nintendo cartridge by blowing on it.
I didn't figure that out till 12
Ephesians4:32 sad momento
Me at that age, proud of my beginning piano lessons.
You can't actually. Blowing on it is useless. It would work the same if you just took the cartridge out and then put it back in again. In fact blowing on it makes it worse because of the saliva, so it can degrade faster.
😂 I love the last comment actually correcting you. We're doomed. 🌎 🔥
Jesus Christ their fingers loaded faster than my internet
I can’t like because it’s 69 likes
YEEEEEEEHHAAAAAAAAAAH
ROFL, Very good, I like it
This loaded faster than My csgo games
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
These young men look like they are enjoying this! They are fantastic!
The hardest part was to keep that banjo in tune and the kid nailed it. His ears must be pure gold !

+ruispuuro but does it djent ?
+ruispuuro And the precision with which he was doing it. Not a flaw!!!!
***** I wouldn't go as far as saying: "it requires no skill", clearly the kid has skills.
+Michael hater
Is the banjo kid actually changing tuning *during* the song? That's damn cool
It’s sort of a technique to create that sound. Lots of people do it.
@@Ms.Fowlbwahhh TY for the info, as a novice guitar player I couldn't imagine doing that mid-song
These are d-tuners that have stops so they can tune down to a certain note and back up to the same note.
The composer of the tune, Earl Scruggs, had what we call "cam-tuners" which were placed between the regular tuners and bent the strings behind the nut to provide the effect. The young man in the video is using a 1960's invention of banjoist Bill Keith which enables the banjoist to manipulate the tuners with stops at pre-selected intervals.
@@oldcremona I had a set on my banjo and it takes great timing to turn the tuner at the right moment or it could turn into a train wreck. This kid nailed it. Was definitly not his first rodeo.
I play the banjo and I can tell you that a good banjo has a brass tone ring and is HEAVY! I'm amazed that a 9 year old kid and stand and play a quality banjo without getting back spasms or some other problem more than I am that he can play that well.
I thought these boys were absolutely awesome! I would be so damn proud if those were my kids
Very talented boys! It was a great joyful experience to listen to them.
i see three talented boys there not only one.
but one of them is 9 so they get all the attention
+Tale of.... p. Good to know pap,, now shut up gotta listen :D
Bob Smith are u trying to say they aren't just as good or better than half the bluegrass players I've ever seen?
Bob Smith I take back my original comment. They are better than 99% of bluegrass players I've seen.
Rickey Bullington
I think few people really acknowledge how hard it is to play this "hillibilly" music
that's extremely true. it ain't hard to find a track and sing behind it, but his you are playing stringed instruments, often implementing your own licks it the music repeating it over and over to build fluency. actually, the sleepy man banjo boys got me into wanting g to learn to play, however, after 2 years I didn't get far because couldn't find a good teacher for a good price.
Noel River this "hillbilly" music is also the foundation of what eventually became rock.
+Joe Williams Ive known many very good self taught musicians along the way. One friend i had went as far as to pick the needle up off his record player to backup and listen repeatedly. Last i heard he was playing guitar with the army over in Germany.
Nah, I think you have to be very ignorant to diss the effort those guys are doing.
dont need a teacher its called practice
They don’t even look nervous! I love how Jonny just ties the band together and is so supportive of his brothers’ solos!
All three of these young men were outstanding.
I went from watching little north Korean children playing guitars to this... I'm not disappointed in my TH-cam choices today.
+Nathan Hovey I literally just came from that video XD
Same lol
OMG me too bro haha
+Lucas Meade HAHAH ME TOO :DD
Eemuumi I like these kids though, raw talent at its finest.
To the people who disliked this video: Remember when you were this age and kicking ass on Letterman? Didn't think so..
I almost painted my monitor with coffee just now...thanks for the laugh :-)
How could you not like that? Those guys are incredible.
Great comment Andy!
Awsome bahahahahaha
I agree and commend that comment!!! (the original one)
Amazing kids. Blessed with talent like no other. Please keep playing. Unbelievably great. Thx.
All three of them are shockingly talented! My goodness!!
Absolutely amazing. I was expecting kids. These are world class musicians
Mark Younger your probably not a musician if you think that

@@victoriaeve459 How was it not amazing?
Applaud their parents. These boys were raised RIGHT!!!!
+Sandeep Mahajan Seems about right
+Sandeep Mahajan Damn aint it right billy boy,
Raised right. ...They were actually probably forced to practice these instruments day in and day out. If that's being "raised right," then yea. Sure.
+Miguel bear Why the fuck do you think that's the case?
Have you checked on their raising?
Talent, hard work and determination: They add up to great inspiration!!!
Who in their right mind would ever gives this video a thumbs down? These kids were and are amazing !! That was just awesome, I've never seen a banjo player tune it while playing like that. Guess you learn something new all the time.
He wasn’t tuning, he was using his scrug tuners, he changed the note up or down a whole note. Earl Scruggs invented it.
There's a lock on the tuner that stops it at the right tuning. This is a classic banjo song. Beautiful!!

There’s always an arsehole somewhere. I loved it
@@iancampbell3202 you loved the arsehole? erm, okay. Each to their own i guess. lol
That's the purest grass around! Tender hearted young ones got that sacred rhythm!
If there was ever a family born to play strung instruments ..... Id say we just saw them
terrcurr WOW !
Check out the Kempter Family....impressive beyond expectations for any one family.
Absolutely amazing, my fingers couldn’t move that fast. Wow love this.
These boys are fantastic musicians. WOW!
Love how he tunes the banjo up and down throughout the performance. It really gives it a unique sound.
'Scuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor....
+Troy Young This comment made me laugh out loud!
I'm still waiting to find mine
+Avox Ask the presenter what fixative he uses for his dentures.
Oh my Lord this is Heaven on earth what a great joy you are, love, love, love!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Best wishes for continued success.
Boy these kids are awesome thanks for posting

I get so emotional hearing this music. Getake me in tears it's so beautiful.
That tuning was both quick and entertaining, impressive
Eric Williamson he wasn’t tuning
My wife and I love yall yall are the best yall ever need anything head on down to Texas fellas
That little fella on the banjo looked so at ease while his fingers were flying. He looked like it required no effort. Of course, all three boys did a great job.
Perfectly done trio! I loved the touch of tuning the banjo throughout the performance and then making it part of the last part of their awesome performance! All smiles to you!
These kids are amazing! I especially love the Fiddle!
Holy cow - pure talent. This vid is over 8 years old.....I can only imagine the hot sauce they're making' now. Wonderful performance - brilliant. Bravo.

Chicks dig the banjo but they also dig the guitar and the fiddle - the boys are ALL incredible musicians.
*money

Awesome!! These kids are unbelievable!! And a pretty cool response Rosalie!!!!
Thanks. I think all instruments are cool if played well.
grew up in the banjo and fiddle needless to say the guitar to. them boys got talent out of this world
"i've got blisters on my fingers" - a quote that fits perfectly with what is happening
I was like "AAAAHAAAAAHAAA" after every solo :D
They're amazing. Don't have a clue why I didn't come across this act earlier. But I'm glad that I finally did.
I absolutely love these guys! Following them for a while and they are awesome!
Wow they all have amazing talent and it's not just the one that's shining all of them are amazing
So glad i saved this video..... 2019 🔥🔥🔥
These boys are a credit to their parents, give a kid great purpose and it keeps them off the streets!
Well done, hope you're all still playing with nimble fingers 🎻🪕🎸🎼🎵🎶
plus, if they do go on to live off the streets. they can earn money by playing music. just a back-up plan for them
@@gameforlifestyle2021 That wan't nice!
THIS right here is what life is (or should be) ABOUT. Thank you.
I agree 100% !!! Great soul you must have :D
Back at you!
I've been playing banjo for nearly 30 years and fiddle for nearly 40 . Those kids are better than me. Mad amount of talent.
Goose bumps at the start. Every time!!!!!!!!!!
Im a classical violinist, and Im telling you, that kid with the violin's got skill!
Please make a video on you playing the violin!!
What's the difference between a violin and a fiddle? A violin has "strings" while a fiddle has _"strangs"!_ 😆😂🤣
The 568 dislikes are from all the other boys in their school system who are going to lose their girlfriends this year.
this coments me laugh... I know they're not serious but bring a smile to my face
***** What does "this coments me laugh" mean? .........any way.....590 people listen to Creed and Nickleback
I'm just saying random shit which is hard to understand so you can just see if you can understand it correctly.
***** I Undurstiend nuw.... hummmmm hehehehe
I don't think you do understand. I'm just explicitly not saying that it wouldn’t be wise not to agree about whether somebody did or did not do what they said they didn’t do. Can we just start over?
I liked how they were all able to showcase each of there talents.
Tocam muito esses guris, parabéns ao trio!
You guys are crazy good!! Congrats on an amazing performance!!

Truly excellent! The little guy with the banjo is an amazing talent. Earl Scruggs would love this little guy! The fiddle player also very talented and nice phrasing and fretwork. Hope they go far and get the recognition they deserve.
314 a1011 Not trying to start a fight here, but Snuffy Jenkins was playing that 3 fingered style way before Earl Scruggs
314a1011 Now that I did not know thanks for the Scruggs tid bit . I'm an big fan of banjo love to hear it played ,but this kid blew me away. Wasn't trying to start a fight thanks for being a sane person that can talk and share information without being a ugly about it. :)
314a1011 Thanks for the info I'll check that video.:)
Meanwhile they're grown older and are on Spotify, check em out!
That boy is super talented for his age. Great job!! Keep it up🤗
How could you not love this.
Love these guys!
My relatives in Sevier County, all musicians. would tell you that this is hard, and these children were born brilliant!!
Always, Amazing!
These boys are killing it. Bravo!
