Learn from a legend! Sonny Osborne's lesson is filled with detailed instruction, historical reminiscences and insightful advice. He teaches his stylistic innovations--walk-downs, unusual endings, pedal steel-like licks, back-ups, chordal harmonies, chiming--and several of his most requested tunes. Band performances illustrate how the banjo sounds in a classic bluegrass setting.Songs: "Danny Boy," "El Randa," "America The Beautiful," "I'll Never Shed Another Tear," "Pain In My Heart," "Me And My Old Banjo," "Six White Horses," "Dandelion," "One Tear," "Tennessee Hound Dog," "Sunny Mountain Chimes," "Sunny Side Of The Mountain," "Eight More Miles to Louisville," "I'll Never Love Another," "Rocky Top."

The 2 dislikes must have been the 2 strangers who went up Rocky Top and were never seen again.
i know it is kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Krew Beckham Flixportal =)
@Ari Dawson Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!
@Krew Beckham Glad I could help :D
Mary, you made me laugh with that one, thank you! 🤣 And Thank You Sonny, for showing us how! 🙏
Thanks Sonny for all the wonderful years of music. You are sorely missed.
R.I.P. Sonny Osborne
We were truly blessed to have had The Osborne Brothers in the bluegrass music genre. Sonny and Bobby rest in peace.
It’s insane how, even with the tempo slowed down that much, that banjo line is still very quick. Expert level musicians.
This is so awsome to see these two great bluegrass pioneers... Sonny is one of my all time favorites. He is gracious and a gentleman.
He always seems to be smiling!
R.I.P Sonny
He was one of the greats ... Hate to hear of his passing
What's there not to like? Can't believe 15 people didn't like this! Maybe 15 cats just happened to run across their keyboards while viewers were happily distracted watching this great video.
My God this banjo will blow your speakers out. This particular tone will never be matched.
The teaching is in the beginning when sonny was playing solo talking to the interviewer before he said to bring in the band. Watch it again and again if you can't find any teaching from it.
Love the song ( I crank it up on Sirius XM radio when Willies Roadhouse plays it). Always have loved the Osborne Brothers bluegrass music along with Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, Jim & Jesse & the Virginia Boys and many others. This type of bluegrass music will never die.
Great picking Sonny & Bobby.
Love these guys RIP Sonny, one of my banjo heros.
this is pure gold, thanks so much for posting, cheers
best banjo picker that ever lived! love u Sonny!
Yes Earl Scruggs was
God bless you, Sonny.
And YOU TOO, Bobby.
RIP Sonny and Bobby. We miss you.
I love electronic music, but this stuff, especially this banjo and the tone produced from its master, could make me forget about ever needing another power outlet again! Makes me wanna leave the city, grow my beard, cut my telephone wires, and roam those hills with a small band..ah
One of the best banjo pickers of all time
Wonderful bluegrass song.
Go Vols!!!!
Thank you! This was helpful.
What a freakin' monster of a flathead banjer...Goodlord I'd be in heaven to own something like that.
A true Legend
They just don't _git_ no better'n good ol' Sonny Osbrn!
Too damn right !! Boss !!
Great to see this on DVD. I have the '95 VHS.
love the song GO BIG BLUE
I have never seen them perform this classic in the open position. They always capo up to the C position (Sonny & the rhythm guitar) every time I've seen them perform this iconic song.
B (4th fret) possibly? Definitely not the key you want to sing sitting down!
If you go to settings on the screen, you can slow it down to 1/2 speed.
Fantastic- Sonny is an original, he'll always be one of my heroes. BTW isn't that the Grascals frontman on guitar?
2 of the Grascals in the backround!
I think he's letting Sonny have the mic. :) A good brother.
Absolutely love that sonny is wearing a UK hat playing this song haha. Leslie county’s finest right here, Go Cats and RIP to my favorite banjo player ever.
REALLY? One day you cats will win a meaningful game…..and I’m Definitely not talking bout basketball…..LMAO GATA JYD!!! if ya don’t know what that means….//HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS!! 2021 NATIONAL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS!!!
@@godislarge1 lol have fun losing to alabama for the hundredth time in a row
Merci********
TONE!
GBO!!
lol...No joke...what an instrument!
1:42 magic
Sonny is a UK fan? WOW!
ha just noticed that's ol what's his face on the guitar that's with the grascals.
homespuntapes Could you tell me when this was taped? What year ? I guess I can find out from that link. Unfortunately I do not have a banjo right now, so I wouldn't get much out of ole' Sonny at the moment. I'm happy to see "Tennessee Hound Dog in there. I've been to over twenty Blue Grass Festivals in the last 8 years - all in Canada, where there are some excellent Bluegrass musicians, But I could NOT find even one doggone codger, Canadian or American, who knew that song!! Can you believe that? !! HA! - They do now however, I saw to that. So we'll see if I can't strong arm that tune out of one of them this year!! Thanks for sharing.
National Treasures
i see alot of the grascals band in here the bass player and guitar player!!
@Smokess4 Just heard that he has suffered a stroke, and can no longer play.Sadly, he had to retire.
Does anyone know what album Dandelion's on??
earl's granada is out of the batch 9584..he got the 9584-3 from don reno and traded him a 34 rb75 and a D18 martin guitar cuz the banjer was in bad shape. Earl didn't even ask for it don gave it to em! Sonny has the 2nd banjer outta that batch earl has the 3rd. Only 20 were made...talk about a priceless instrument. I'd give my left testical for one...well maybe not..lol "scratches head" hmmm
It makes you wonder if Bobby can chop and sing at the same time, if he can, he seldom ever does!
2 dislikes don't know music if it smacked em on Rocky Top !!!
This particular set up and sound he has out of his granada sounds VERY close to the same sound Earl got out of his on "Take me in your lifeboat" on the foggy mountain gospel album..I mean it's so close it's almost Identical....Can defiantly tell they are out of the same batch and right off the line one after the other.
oh my is bobby with them???
something's just wrong with a man wearing a UK cap, playing rocky top...LOL...GO VOLS..the streak lives!
The streak is long dead now bud.
challenge accepted
lol....that banjo is awesome course most pre war grenada's are...well any grenada..the feller playin is about 80 percent of why it sounds like that
What’s not to like 🎉🎉🎉
@martinpleass I prefer a fork .
Sheesh...even slowed down it's too fast fer me to play... These guys are top level musicians. No doubt...
Rocky Top is a great song but UK is coming to do a little mountain removal mining.
I'm with ya Reckonman...I'll be rite b'side you wit my boomer apperatus too! Then we'll do some pickin' an let the uk do the runnin'...
@prescomp As much as one will pay. 200-250,000 dollars...or more.
This video is incorrectly titled. WHAT teaching?
He played it a bit slower at the beginning.
why the hell is he wearing a UK hat?
Also a very good chance his family roots are from the UK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_(name)
Does it matter, it's the music that's important?
Cause he’s from Kentucky
@@CraigRison lol no his hat is a University of Kentucky hat
if you look carefully you can see that bobby is shaking with his hands all the time...
i don´t think that he is in a very good shape... but thumbs up for the performance in this high age
rocky top was made in KENTUCKY by Kentuckians
And it's a song about longing to return to a place in Tennessee...
Rocky top was made / written at the Gatlinburg Inn
George Lucas' alias
No real teaching there-but fun stuff nontheless.
This man wrote and played the most prolific song in Tennessee history and he's sitting there in a Kentucky Wildcats hat.
