Had to come back and watch it again when I heard the news. It’s gonna be a long time before there’s another traditional 3 finger picker that can match Jim’s style/technique. RIP, you absolute legend. Them angels probably ain’t ever tapped their feet as much as they have been the last couple days

RIP you fucking legend. Will miss you forever. My life is coming to an end, but this is a man who needs to be remembered. Love you always Jim, thanks for teaching me "Flint Hill special" xxx

RIP Sir Jim Mills, you'll be remembered by the banjo communities forever...

Gone too soon and never forgotten. RIP ole boy.

RIP JIM. a lifetime of inspiration ❤❤❤

Rip Jim. Sad loss in music

I got to see Jimmy three times with Kentucky Thunder. He always stood end of the line right side. Such awesome talent. Sleep now Jimmy in Jesus. On resurrection day you'll get to play for the angels and God before His heavenly court

I live in France, I play the banjo since 10 years, I'm 16, and here, few people know what it's a banjo, it's too bad... I love the United State, I like every State of your country, and I'm crazy about bluegrass music ! God bless America and bluegrass music ! From my sweet country, France !

Me too. I had the privilege of going to a banjo seminar at his home a few years ago, and he is one of the nicest persons you'd ever want to meet. Very humble and gracious; he even let us pick on some of his unbelievable assortment of pre-war Gibson banjos. Unforgettable experience.

Jim, I love to hear you pick and I love to watch you grin !!

Super pro. Man, these old guys get together you better watch out.

This was the "Recessional" at my wedding played by Applegate and Company with Dick Applegate on the 5 String at Wildlife Prairie Park near Peoria, Illinois on June 13, 1997.

Fabulous thanks guy's

Very nice 😊

Super.

Rip Jim mill

Heck ya this guy knows how to pick a banjo

You can see Jim's face change when he realizes he missed the other little little d-tuner lick in the second break. I don't think it was intentional that he put it in the 3rd break. Obviously doesn't matter, phenomenal player and I just think it's cool to see him work through a mistake

Yes indeedy....nice Jim.....Jack

Man and his Machines strings and things

I really liked this kind of music, these songs not part of the culture of my parents, but I found very beautiful, it's called this type of music in his parents?

Just why are there negative posts?! Great post and respect 👌😁

Mills is a chronically HAPPY guy.

Wowwwwww

Я извиняюсь что своим вопросом могу задеть высоко патриотические чувства Американцев. Нет мелодия классная за водная и по-моему уже имеет свою историю возможно даже относится к классике. Но прошу прощения за незнание названия Банджо по-моему называется. А вот этот инструмент он создан и способен выдавать только одну мелодию или есть еще музыка с её участием

Agreed; RLR has the 2nd string move up to C to make D7, whereas with Flint Hill Special the 2nd moves down to A...both good tunes.
