Glen, you've made a South African of Boer Voortrekker ( forward puller is the literal translation but actually means Pioneer) descent's heart warm like the snare on my kitaar. and I am a bluegrass picker on my kitaar and there are elements of the style in the boere musical genre. It's actually a form of country which is very popular in the Afrikaans community. Our Bluegrass band The Motled Crew has held many a barndance ( opskop or upkick) in the country areas where the traditional 2 step (Skokie or stocky literally) and the reels, waltzes, square dances and contra dances resemble the American dances as they share similiar European roots. Let's not forget the polka as well. Another great kitaaris or guitarist is Wiam Otto whom I've had the great privilege of performing with. Please would you be so kind as to share more of this beautiful music and your philosophy with us. Craig Martens , The, Mottled Crew and The Bandits kitaaris.
Also check out Ricus Nel, Deon van der Merwe, Dylan Emslie, Hansie Roodt, Leslie Moller and who knows who else for more Afrikaner "kitaar" players who rock. There are so many who are super players it is impossible to list them all.
I almost snapped at you calling our South African guitar players uneducated😂 but thank you for the video, sad to say that a musician in the US goes through the effort to make and share a tutorial video for us on TH-cam while our own musicians in South Africa don't. Thanks Glen keep it up👌🏻 I think I should make a video on the correct pronunciation of Afrikaans words names and surnames😉😂
Thanks for your comment Phillip. I personally love the music coming from SA and hope to eventually do a lesson on Kannie Warries song Janient Jie. I hope most folks understand that I’m really just trying to make myself appear ignorant of the SA culture.
That is our Afrikaans word for guitar so its not that the spelling is incorrect but boeremusiek is our traditional Afrikaans folk music. Its luterally translates to farmer music haha
I don’t know a lot about SA, but probably more than most Americans. Long time ago I read Michener’s book “The Covenant”. Much has changed since that book was written. Anyway I do watch a lot of the guitar players on TH-cam and greatly enjoy the music. Thanks for your comment.
I like you're video Glen. Playing the konsertina myself, I also "missed" class many times while present in the classroom just like these youngsters in the link th-cam.com/video/UzX48v3zeac/w-d-xo.html. It's so wonderful to see young people being so good at what they do. No one can play the konsertina like the boere, and no one can play the pedal steel guitar and dobro like the Americans. I just love you all. Boere musiek and Country is tops.
Hi Barend, Yes I have lots of respect for guitar players of SA. Some of my comments are made to intentionally make myself appear ignorant, hopefully adding some humor to the video. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks a million. Great song.
Thanks for listening

@@picknbluesglendavis8609 we underdtand, we do have a sense of humour😂
You even know the words it seems. Looks like you're singing along while playing.
I don’t know words, just kind of mouthing out the notes to myself, thanks for listening.
I never heard that song, but I like it. Too bad about things in South Africa these days.
Ricus Nel wows Biltongfees crowd with guitar skills

I will, thanks for watching my video!

Warm stings then it is. Thanks
@@picknbluesglendavis8609 great job bty reminds me of South Africa
Guitar in afrikaans is kitaar and the best schools in the world is in south Africa 🇿🇦

Thanks for the lesson its pretty hard to get some tutorials on boeremusic
@@barendpotgieter8120 BTW, I love some of the stuff that Kannie Warries plays and I hope I can eventually make a tutorial from one of his songs also.
ja nee
No fool kitaar is afrikaans for guitar
Your version of "warm snare" does not justify the song, sorry.
I agree with you, but it’s the best I can do. Maybe it will make someone curious to check out some of the good SA guitar players.
Werner please post your tutorial video of warm snare.
