😱young amazing best banjo player (foggy mountain breakdown) 

Agreed. They're all incredible.

Wow!

Totoally agree

One kid didn’t solo. why.

Wow !! All of these kids are super talented !!! Glad to see Bluegrass still lives on !!

Totally agree that all the kids were great and all deserve credit. Great bunch of kids.

I was in a band when i was younger and i already felt pumped when i managed to improvise small solos during gigs... to be this good at this age is so extraordinary and they're not even arrogant, even with all that talent.

Hee Haw!

Jerry Reed. No wonder I want to watch Smokey and the Bandit.

THANK YOU, I was thinking the same thing.

You got that right !

Agreed!

It's good to see the parents are encouraging their kids to gravitate towards music. It's a shame that the schools want to cut a lot of their music curriculum. Not all kids have encouraging parents at home who want to see them succeed. Music is a way for them to get out of that situation and toward a positive direction..

Agreed! Fabulously talented. All of them

Wow what a compliment, thanks

They look to be doin fine. Maybe there is still hope for us.

Such a good feeling to see so much joy given by young talented children, realizing the practice & dedication required! What a joy it brings to us!🎶

Yeah jesus

What amazing talent these children have. I commend them for their diligent, hard work in mastering their skills at such a young age.

WOW!!!! U guys are the epitome of AWESOME!!!! And if anyone tells u different, ask them "did it hurt?, they'll say "did what hurt?" You say " That dumbass rock you just fell on!!!!!!" And bumped your head!#!!! Keep goin stay on that roll!!!!! Luv y'all!!!! Never stop!!!!!!

Darn right!!!🥰

Problem with that is that most people don't appreciate great musicianship....they need to get recognised right _now_ because the novelty is their youth 👍😎

If they’re an actual band, looks like a large family to me. And the fact is with musical instruments is that once you master one, you will get bored and learn another, buy another, for the rest of your life. I play about 35 instruments now, but I have 3 favourites. Bass guitar, Hammond B/C3 and the Tuba. I love making a place rumble. My church got EVERYONE who ever played there in the past 30 years together, and we packed the stage with over 60 people. We blew the windows out. I have never heard anything so loud in my life than standing in that group and just making a cacophony.

They will be playing the Grand Ole Opry and killing it!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙

This made my day. What a wonderful bunch of young musicians. I want to hear more!

Look up gangsta grass your faith will be restored✌

150% agree

Amen to that! 💛🏆💛

Agree

My goodness, that was some great picking & playing! Keep playing because someday you will all be famous! Great Job!

Hundreds? Try thousands.

Tbh, This is the song most most mountain kids learning bluegrass and banjos learn to play at an early age.

No amount of practice is going to make an average person this good. You either got it or you don't. These kids are lucky they can apply what they have an ability to do naturally. Like some kids learn to read or do math or run fast at a very early age. Amazing inate talent.

I do!!!👍🏼

I play several instruments some from when I was a kid, some self taught as an adult so I know how many hours of practice it took to get this good. These kids are amazing!

Hey how are you doing today..?

@land that I love---i second that opinion

So true, I was feeling low, just on here browsing like you do, came across this video, I thought let’s see this young un play, cheered me up, music can do that, lifted my spirits anyway, don’t let the bastards grind us down, we have every right to live a free and just life like any other human being that exists on this earth, they don’t have power over me, but the sheep let us all down with their ignorance

Coolest thing I have seen this week.

Communists loathe healthy White European families.

You got that right! Now that's how it's done!

Agreed! Like when I see a young drummer tearing it up- that’s why my drums are all torn down now- I prefer just watching the young talent.

I've been playing since 1977. So probably longer than their collective age. lol I started with bluegrass though. Wore out the frets on my favorite starter '64 Gibson AII-Mahogany LG-0

I was about to call the hater police..until I saw the rest of your comment...you play banjo btw?

@@melindahamm5764 lol... I was trying to throw people off! I have tried banjo but no good at it , strummed it like a guitar. I play guitar but just a chord player. These kids are way better than I'll ever be.

🥴😂

I am proud of their parents 👏

It's Genetic

Yes sir

@@alicewoodard2373... That banjo player in the tree in Deliverance... he was a genetic marvel too! 🤪 Dueling Banjos yeehaaw!

Yeah that kid could go places

Love it.

Amen Terry,if it is,hell,I'll go now!

I'm sure there's a big room designated just for this type of playing.

We'll all be singing to Jesus....

Nice to see bluegrass still has a future and Amen terry dunnehoo - those angels in heaven will be lucky if they can play like this

Yes, talented white kids! Not filthy hyphenated American ethnicities spitting profanities into a microphone.

Thank you for such a wonderful comment. When I was in school living in the North during the 80’s, a teacher told my class that we have no culture here because our ancestors all came from somewhere else. Now as I think of it, I always heard Blue Grass exists nowhere else! I live in the South now and I see our culture. The Northerners I grew up around generally chase after money and possessions, while Southerners on a greater scale choose to make more spiritual aspects of life be the focus of their family.

@@TheBATSnape Such idiocy. So... Cubans don't have a culture? Dominicans, Brazilians, Argentinians, they don't have one either? Everyone is from somewhere else. Even the "Native Americans" are from Asia. And... let there exist no doubt that had the "natives" possessed the technology and know-how of the Europeans they would have conquered and enslaved the Europeans like they were already doing to themselves for millennia. People are people. Every culture has its bad and its good. There are winners and there are losers. Culture can be created, or lost, in just one generation. We're seeing this with our youth today, as a product of the deliberate and incessant drive by the left's propaganda arms in Academia, Hollywood, the music industry, and the news media. I am now a huge fan of country rap, and its leaders such as Ryan Upchurch. They are unapologetically proud of their heritage and are not bending and cowering to the the pressure from the politically correct overloads in the record label business. The rebel and independent spirt of Southern culture has been, and still is, admired worldwide. But it is an endangered way of life.

The banjo was the only instrument invented in America. Mountain folks, and later bluegrass, simply built on it and perfected it!

It’s just a variation of Irish Scots music when they came to America 250 years ago

@@Hialeah1925 lol why do cubans like upchurch so much.. literally.. and im not saying thats a bad thing.. i just notice it with alot of cubans..cubans also love alabama alot once they come here.. again no problem.. i just notice these things....

too bad the industry needs a deep cleaning aye? wouldn't wanna send these young folks through the present day meat grinder, ya know? I hope they do hold their skill always, but the pressure to have them succeed with music right now, ehh... use high discernment on that path. The reality of making it with music is traumatic to say the least.

They going all the way to the top hall of fame's here

Because it is his daddy or mommy showing their kid off... not the neighbors' kids... they just happened to he apart of his show.

Not going to lie lol... they all look like brothers and sisters. We know who's mommy and daddy's favorite now.

@@TestAccount-jq2cq the Repression & PTSD to come 🥺

Its just to make a catchy title, thats all 😊

Amen!

@austin in cebu ph boomer posting? I'm 41

I could listen to Earl Scruggs and Jerry Douglas all day. These kids affect me the same way. I can't get enough of them.

Dawn Robbins it takes a special kind of idiot to get these kids a thumbs down in the comments. Probably the same liberal democrats that are running our country into the ground 🤦🏼🤦🏼

There is more to learn on RU-vid than all the schools, colleges and universities put together.

AMEN!!!!

Ditto !!!

Thumbs Down == Absolutely horrendous camera work…. Thumbs UP == TALENT!!

Same here mate, these kids nailed it 👏👏🇭🇲🇭🇲

Amen

Yes

Wasn’t 3 minutes. It was 2 minutes and 58 seconds.....

@@vinjonessoda768 Geez! Ever heard of ROUNDING?🙄 TALK ABOUT SEMANTICS!

It's kinda like the Jackson 5. They were all talented but MJ got all the attention. 😕

Isnf it a banno tune?

Probably because the Banjo is the dominating instrument in that musical ensemble! It's the loudest,and just resonates pure tonal power! I could listen to this all day,up my way alot of people listen to rap,and ICP is really a big thing with alot of them! I'll take what this group is playing any day!

Probably his momma made the video. I think that's obvious

But I bet you got to see this video via a phone, as did hundreds of thousands of others. And hundreds of thousands of videos exist just for teaching people, like these kids, how to make music. 🙄

@@ikkirr yes this is true. There is a limit just as anything one does. Too many people seem to over extend their time on a phone and forget to live life. Time management is the key...

@@ikkirr nope, old school pc for me. never upgrading to these smart technologies. You sound like you enjoy being the authority of others, so I'll move along now and enjoy yourself! These kids are amazing, and the nature setting is even more heart warming to see.

@@ikkirr why the eye roll at the end?

Amen!

I'll bet all their parents play these instruments too. Fantastic music born in the mountains. Keeping a wonderful culture alive. It makes all this over produced music sound bland, banal AND yes, overproduced and without character.

Exactly Right, same thing I was thinking.

We're still talking about kids, right? Last I checked, kids still have a lot of growing, a lot of learning yet to do. I get what you're saying, but the hyperbole is unnecessary. There are lots of nice kids, these are some of them. Learning Bluegrass music doesn't make one better, just different. And lest we forget, most of the "overpaid, half-dressed no-talents" you berate are young, too, still children relatively speaking. God called us to love *all* not some, and these people, however misguided are doing the best that they can do same as these kids, Bluegrass aside. Life is a journey we're *all* in together. Estimating the journey of some as "better" simply because something they do gratifies an interest or concern of yours does not make their journey more worthy, just different.

@@EldritchSleepMachine Thank you

You said it best! "More class style and dignity..." I'm with you on that comment. Forget all that half dressed red carpet rigmarole. These are real people with manners!! Hallelujah...I'm glad I saw them before bed tonight.

@@EldritchSleepMachine it makes it more worthy, because of the effort behind something. If you say an architect is just simply different from a simple mason, but ultimately all the same, then why not also equal their pay ?! It would be lunacy to advocate that and it's all the same if you do not recognize the achievement of these children. If you're religious then don't try and spread that in the comment section of a good natured music clip man. I get wanting to believe there's something after death, but keep it to yourself will ya ? God is dead, god stays dead and we have killed him

You Said It👍👍👍🎸🎻

Good job to everyone..and thanks

So would Lester...!!!

Yes he would.

Agreed!

Definitely an epic crew!

Bill Monroe would be proud too! I got to meet him as a kid at a bluegrass festival.

I was going to say the same thing, my God, very good, oh the practice that had to be done

Wow thay are good.. but lester..thats my first name... 59yrs to day... helo from Ireland..😉 lester kirby...

How is "the crap they play on the radio today" and more or less complicated than this? Why shouldn't a child shine in whatever musical talent they can, and enjoy?

Eh, I LOVE this, and those kids are just infinitely talented. It’s amazing to watch & hear…..I harbor a secret obsession with folk music from the early sixties - lyrics that tell a story, that make you feel less alone - Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, James Taylor, Pete Seeger, Odetta, Phil Oches, Nanci Griffith (She’s my ABSOLUTE favorite of all the artists I secretly adore….and she passed away last week. It crushed my family. We grew up with her words) As much as I love that stuff & those musicians, I also love Pink (OMG, she’s incredible!) ZZ Ward, Sara Bareilles, Taylor Swift, Lady GaGa, Adele, Florence & the Machine, The Dixie Chicks, Eminem, Mumford & Sons, Rihanna….there’s too much amazing music to list it all. But there’s always room for talent to impress us without having to replace one thing with another. We can have it all! ❤️

@@TinariKao the crap on the radio today is almost all not live and is absoluye trash live. They canr even sing never mind play. That is today. Not all obv but most.

Hello how are you doing..?
