    Take it from a 62 yr old picker who's been playing for 50 years.
    You got the chops, and pay no attention to anyone suggesting otherwise.
    You nailed it.

      @Xylok Thank you for your reply.
      Your words were very kind and I truly appreciate your message.
      I spent a number of years teaching music and recognize the work, disipline and sheer determination it takes to pull off as perfectly the piece of music that this young lady accomplished.
      It was after reviewing some of the nasty comments that were posted that I felt compelled to post my comment.
      It's sad to say, but it's true; I have witnessed firsthand the discouraging effects of ignorant criticism on young talent.
      To see a talented kid put his or hers instrument down just because some jackass was jealous (that's what that garbage is really about... envy) and to watch a kid buckle under perceived peer pressure of less inspired folk, always broke my heart.
      My goal was to uplift this young lady and I hope she saw my comment and keeps working hard to master her chosen instrument.
      Peace to you and yours.
      May the New Year find you and all you embrace happy, healthy, and prosperous.
      :)

      @Xylok Thanks for sharing. Congrats for your upcoming birthday. Not a lot of us dodge life's bullets and make it so far. Turning 63 on the 24th this month myself, and loving it!
      By keeping kind words in my mouth and reaching this age by some miracle, I'm often accepted in circles of younger folk as a kind, silly grandpa sort of guy. I like it. Plus, on occasion I get the opportunity to positively influence a young person... either through music instruction, or just having the chance to share a story or two about issues that they've yet to encounter.
      My motto?
      Life is a beautiful mess best enjoyed with a meaningful soundtrack.
      Peace to you and yours. I thoroughly enjoyed you poking at me... keeps me on my toes.
      :)

      I don't think it's what she wants. The ability to do doesn't always come from a desire of wanting to. If it makes you feel better, my mother and lot of my family are/were from eastern Kentucky. When I lived in Berea, Ky I passed Scruggs street to go home. photos.app.goo.gl/QhCQWRxZB81wcQTFA

      @@travelersworldcafellc7036 Bluegrass music is predominantly influenced by European musical traditions, particularly those of the British Isles. The instrumentation, vocal styles, melodies, and song structures found in bluegrass can be traced back to Scottish, Irish, and English folk music. Instruments like the fiddle, guitar, mandolin, and upright bass, which are central to bluegrass music, have European origins. The banjo, has similiar african coutnerparts and, is a part of bluegrass music, the overall style and sound of bluegrass are more closely associated with European musical traditions. The banjo's incorporation into bluegrass music represents one aspect of cultural influences that have shaped American music over time. The banjo you see on the video though is not an african invention.

      Bluegrass and 5-String style banjo picki'n are more popular now than at any time in history. Grievance? Feeling like your culture is oppressed? Not just beating a dead horse, but you're beating the wrong dead horse. BTW, glad to hear you recognize Black America's contribution to its music "tradition". This is a West African derivative of traditional Black People's traditional instrument! Wish I could see the look on your face and watch you clean up those grits you just spat out on momma's dinning room table.

    • @davidvaughn7752
      @davidvaughn7752 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@TheFertoledo The 5-String Banjo is a derivative of West African instruments. The Tenor and Plectrum banjo's evolved and were developed by Black men who played traditional music at the time of its development into what any rational person would call a "Banjo", and then were later adopted and mocked by mid-late 19th century white musicians in jazz and other jazz/traditional genre who would put black makeup on their faces and humor the crowd with N------- music and present other racial stereotyped performances. Bluegrasses influence is _mostly_ what you say; HOWEVER, the genre is now in its 3rd renaissance and you'll see influences of classical, (BLACK) blues, and even electronica. Look up _Bella Fleck_ if you don't believe me. The banjo seen in this video looks just like the Plectrum and Tenor _except_ for the lack of the 5th string. So then, the development of the banjo and yes, even traditional (white) bluegrass music - not heard commercially until the advent of radio and presented to listeners around the time of The Great Depression - is not as comfortably homogeneous as you describe. BTW: The guitar is influenced by the _lute_ which has its origins in the Middle East. It was seen by crusaders (Europeans) as they travelled there and brought back new ideas.
