The Gospel: JESUS died for our sins on the cross, HE shed HIS holy, innocent , precious blood for us (HIS blood washes away ALL sins) HE was buried but on the third day GOD raised HIM from the dead. All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9)!!.,,

If the gentleman were to learn to play he would discover that there isn't one answer, there are actually dozens of tuning options for the five string banjo, beside standard open G. Most intermediate old time players will of played at least a couple of different tunings. Most people who play the banjo are fairly good laid back and know how to take a joke about a banjo and will also tell jokes about the banjo.

My first husband's dad grew up dirt poor and just had a sixth-grade education but he could play the banjo, fiddle and guitar like a virtuoso. I was lucky enough to experience many of his impromptu music sessions along with his brother, who could play as well as he did. This city girl grew to love Bluegrass and the old Gospel classics.

"He ended up winning first place." Because why in tarnation WOULDN'T he?! Combination of his raw talent and dressing up for the set helped massively.

Aaaah goals!! I've only been playing for a few months and I cannot do that yet but I'm so happy to be learning such an awesome instrument!

Fantastic, I love Banjo playing! It's such a warm and rythmic music, it makes me sentimental and brings joy. I would like to see a band where a banjo plays together with a mandoline and a balalaika!

I take my hat off to any musician, it's a precious gift

This dude better have won the show. He was hella entertaining. Way better than what my high school talent shows had to offer.

I say a lot of things.

As a person that grew up in WV, I hear "Oh, where the Hillbillies live!" every time I mention the state up here in my current state of Massachusetts....lol. I used to live next to a guy when I was a kid that we all called "The Banjo Man" because he was always out on his back patio playing a banjo. One day my little sister and I decided to ask him about his banjo and we learned that he also made custom banjos and guitars out of crazy things like shovels. I still think about him some 30 years later. My family and him became really great friends over the years of being neighbors. When I picked up the trombone, I would "jam" with him after school and on the weekends.❤ I find myself missing those days, even if there was nothing else to do in my town back then...lol!

Banjos were originally made out of gourds I’m pretty sure

Kinda sad that people are too busy trying to come up with “hillbilly” jokes that they lose the beauty in this performance completely. Go back and listen, without northern bias, to one of the most influential instruments of our time. And a hat tip to that enormously talented banjo player!!!

Same thing's happening here in Australia. Less and less people are using the classic australianisms like "g'day", "barbie" and "You beaut!" and a lot of young kids are sayin' shit like "cookie" instead of biscuit and "Zee" instead of "Zed". I guess this just shows the results of globalisation.

Not an American, and I've lived in Asia my whole life, but something about the Banjo and Southern America in general seems so inviting to me. I'd love to take long country drives, bump into strangers and drink moonshine as someone plucks a banjo, get called, "son," by an old rancher... Yeah, I'm visiting the American South one day.

I lived in the American south for a bit. I'm also half Chinese. Just be prepared for wholesome racism. Not sure how else to describe it. If you're not Chinese, they're going to ca you Chinese or Japanese. But they won't really mean anything by it. They might call you a chink or something, but again, they won't really mean anything by it, haha. There are a few who are legitimate racists, but luckily most of those types are hermits. The south has a whole lot of southern hospitality. Kinda hard to explain unless you experience it
