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
@Xylok Bless you both!!!
@Arthur Schnapka All it takes is practice and time.
Same as everything else in life....
Steve Martin said it best and I quote "There's a big difference between the banjo and a guitar. The banjo has a round pot with a skinhead top which projects the sound outwards and the guitar can get you laid."
Lol I can play guitar fairly well but don't get laid
I imagine she'll do alright
@@Cornpop-N-DaBoyz Yeah, but in her case, it ain't the banjo.
😉
Not sure if this is the banjo quote I would have chose for a video of a 12 year old playing one
@@trossbossinit 12? She's probably 25
So peaceful!!! Her smiling face and her fingers make us peace!!
It's her genuine smile that we are so in love with, in addition to her fantastic banjo pickin'.
Truly awesome
See y'all soon after 8years when CZcams Recommands us again
you too huh?
@@reeseboecker7603 everyone here
Actually I found this when I deliberately searched for Banjo music today.
People are searching for things related to the banjo after the banjo player of Mumford and Sons was cancelled for his book recommendation.
@@super6_1 Never heard about Milford and Sons. I just wanted a quick reminder of how the Banjo sounds.
CZcams suddenly says to me: "Hey! You know nothing of banjos. You need to know about young ladies playing the banjo from 9 YEARS AGO!"
I was not disappointed.
same thing happened to me. I'm not mad.
7 years ago!
I got it too.
same
Ditto
Back in 1976 this was the breakaway song for the USS Sarsfield DD-837. The last med cruise before we sold it to Taiwan. The old girl ran in there navy til 2005 and is now a museum ship in Taiwan as DDG-925.
Beauty and Talent. Killer Combo!
Every time I hear a young person play like this, and smile into the camera, I can't help but feel proud of them.
Yup.🤠💯👍
Amen brother, amen
Hey! A fellow Hendrickson! Shout out from over here in Commiefornia :)
Amend brother!
@@TH-uw9py Here's a shout out to you too, Mr. Hendrickson. California was actually a cool place in the late 60s
I've been to a lot of blue grass concerts and could not believe that these great musicians are not recognized like they should be.
Stuff is like metal, classical or math rock. Players love this stuff but for someone like this to blow up you need singing with great lyrics and a full band that has crossover appeal.
Lady is very good.
naw, they are recognised the right amount.
The Resonation is on its way. Love will come back to the true arts. ❤
It’s unfortunately more profitable to shove rap crap down our collective throats than to showcase true talent like Willow.
These days, only hip hop and rap are recognized.
I keep coming back to Willow's videos as seeing the pleasure she gets from her playing and the quality of her performances always put a smile on my face.
I don't like country music but something about a great banjo picker gets me.
Me: watches one banjo video.
CZcams: "this man has a fever, and more banjo videos are the only cure!!"
You can never watch just one banjo
Indeed
same but i got it with zombie deers
i was listening to RDR2 music and i came across this

That smile about half way through, then again at the end! A genuine young lady with talent galore!
That smile could crack up a boulder, just sayin' . . .
@@thomasraahauge5231 lol
Music is peaceful, calming and healing amidst the endless chaos and nonsense of this world. Thank you!
I agree.That can be proved scientifically using Bessej functions:
J(n,x) ,where n is the hole number in the ukulele and x the distance between ukulele and people listening the music.
At the distance x where J(n,x)
I told my 80 year old mom the other day that there so many talent young musicians (on YT) that most people never hear of and here you go this little girl proves my point. Bravo young lady. very nice keeping the old traditions alive.
Only took seven years to get in my recommendations
yeah mine too...
same man
Mine, too. CZcams algorithms suppress wholesomeness
Me too, what's up with that?
Same here, It just appeared in my feed.
I’ve watched this over a dozen times. Excellent!
Beautifully picked. Keep it up girl. A vanishing art sacred to our country's tradition.
that actually is a west african tradition and insturment
@@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.
Sacred European rhythm 😂
The whole usa is barely older than some villages around my town. What traditions are you even talking about?
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.
@@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.
When she smiled, I smiled.
contagious.

@@officestapler please get of the internet for a month, and then come back.

How my mother loved this music. She was from Italy, but to her this music was clearly filled with pure joy.
I like spaghetti
I love how music can bridge so many gaps and can make so many people so much less sad than without it
Extraordinary talent! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice work. Joy to see
“They’d quit chasing us if you turned off that damn getaway music”

@@chrishartsock5564 That's just a Simpsons reference. I believe Homer said that to Grampa as they where escaping from an angry crowd.
?🙄
Makes Me Cry, its Incredible! My dad played banjo, Foggy Mountain Breakdown was his favorite song!!!
It's one of my favorites as well
Very wonderful playing It tears me up hearing this reminds me my father always played music blue grass Thank you for nice video keep playing it's Heart and soul
BEAUTIFUL!
As a finger-picking guitarist, I'm always fascinated by how fast these people play the banjo and she just played it so effortlessly and the big smile at the end just caps it off!
Anyone that is gifted with a talent like this will bring out wicked willie who is jealous and envies it and causes thumbs down Good Job Little Lady do not ever doubt your gift it is God given and cannot be lost!!
i got a thumbs down on my version of "in the garden" on my small channel, like apparently someone had the time of day not to like the praise being sent up😂
I’ve taught music for over 30 years. Actually, it can be lost.
And the choir said, "AMEN" to that brother... She has got loads of talent and having fun playing is great.
@@cathyproctor3708 Not if you treat it as a Gift from God... Then it can be taken away... not LOST!
How much is cost to make this woman Willow Osborne my son's 1st wife?
great work love that banjo sound
Very nice! Always been something captivating about the banjo. Loved it since I was just a wee lil whipper
Yep, that young lady can sure pluck that banjo! Love it here in England!
An admiring fan once stated to Itshak Perlman "I'd give my life to play like you", to which he replied "I did "!! I love watching this young lady play
Absolutely awesome banjo playing !
Started with a smile finished on a good note, that some mighty fine playing.
She's talented and adorable. Big round of applause. That is not an easy piece to learn and play. Great job.
yup - cute girl with lots of talent
Beautiful!
One true Word!
Did you mean Blyatiful?
It’s crazy how the algorithm suddenly thinks it’s important for us all to see this seven years later😂. CZcams will make it so everyone can see your videos ( they might just wait almost a decade.)
I am aren't i :) so are all of you and the lady in the video along with her music.
@@tannerdylan5972 Totally agree, was researching this tune way back in the day, right here on youtube and no sign of this lassses excellent performance hit the radar!
What a beautiful banjo! A beautiful performance from a beautiful young lady.She's talented and adorable.Thank you from Fresno, California
Cute and adorable.
Excellent job!
Love to see all the young folk digging on bluegrass
Dave Stutesman Nobody from my age at my school likes it tho :/ that kinda sucks.
Yuri Danylko kids are infected by that ghetto rap they call music do you live in city urban thats why
Louis Paul Rutko Yeah it's a real shame...
Don't worry about them. Be your own person in life and listen to what you like and enjoy.
Dave Stutesman Thanks
I like the little smirk she gives at the end. The icing on the cake. Bravo!!!!
Oh, she smirked? Didn't notice that. I was too busy listening to the music . . .
oh thanks @@thomasraahauge5231 you're the only non-creepy comment i could find
Acya: Thank you - and btw, that's kinda disturbing :-O
This gave me the warm and fuzzy feeling of nostalgia. Thank you for that
Zajebiste wykonanie pasuje do wszystkiego czy to pogrzeb czy wesele buja elegancko
My 15 year old son (who also has Asperger's Syndrome) has been wanting to learn to play banjo. Just bought him one a couple of weeks ago for his birthday and signed him up for lessons. He seems to be picking it up pretty quickly. I would love to see him play like this talented young lady someday. :-)
Awesome! Good for him!!
I hope he becomes the next Earl Scruggs!
I had a friend In Mi awhile back wanted to learn how to play the banjo a friend of his first thing you learn how to play the piano after that 6 string guitar after that 12 string aka Roy Clark special then when all said and done pick up a banjo 'cause you earned it true story
That's great, Brett. I also have autism and am trying to master the guitar (I can't fingerpick because of paralysis). Get your son to listen to Roger Dinsdale as well. 😊
@@pauljordan4452 Awesome! Thanks, Paul. Will definitely check him out. :-)
I love her banjo picking. It almost sounded like Earl.
She's skilled at picking, but not almost like Earl. I know - it's mean, but her picking is not nearly as smooth and even, the punctuation is not there, and the rhythmic inflections are not nearly as subtle. She has much to learn from the master.
I love to wath Willow ,always great to hear you playing...❤️
Wow. Just, WOW! That was really special.
God, I love America! Great job young lady!
sorry about your country ..
"God, I love America" wtf dude??
@Table-Country pinxing THRYM Firearms 27 sounds like unnecessary nationalism for a music video, but ok
@@osasunaitor gtfo
I guess you are above 50 years and Come from a previous confederate state.
That smile getting through the tough chord... pure elation.
That was beautiful!
Beautiful
The place lit up when she smiled! Absolutely stunning, and that's from a heavy metal fan!!
I too, a huge metal fan, found bluegrass irresistible. I can't get enough and it's been about 10 years now
My momma always said "If there's no words to the song, sing it with your smile" ..nah I'm just kidding, she never said that, I just made it up. Great job.
Squirrelbong: Still valid :)
My momma said, "You won't grow old, because you'll die young." I'm doing stupid stuff right now. I mean, if you consider trying to cut your own hair or running a few ways away from your neighborhood every weekend stupid instead of silly like I do.
And yes, this girl is amazing! I love Foggy Mountain Breakdown, but playing it is so difficult. Trying to play that same lick on guitar, it's not the same feel and even going over that the picking pattern and speed is so tricky! Banjo players and fiddlers have my utmost respect.
Why would you say that?? Now I don't know what to think..
@@frucklerbullpit I'll delete my comment if you want.
@@vincentreyes6154 don't do that, it's funny as!
Love this song. You are such a talented you g lady. Thank you!
Wonderful to see such talent, thank you and keep picking!
At the 1:03-1:06 mark, she pulls of a series of “triplet raking” licks that really show her depth and maturity as a musician. Even when she was this young you could see her superb musicianship shining through.
When I looked at your profile picture I thought you your bob saget
Shut up
Dude here just saying words without nothing to base them on.
Oh Yeah? ..... at 0:39 her Momma waters the plants. LOL
Thank you! You have a nice feel of Resonance. I appreciate your appreciation, for the Arts! ❤️
Good Lord! How did those tiny fingers do that? Beautiful young woman! Outstanding banjo playing! Earl would be so proud! Keep up the amazing pick'n Willow! You got it!Thank's for sharing your talents!
Or you can STFU
What ARE you SAYING Obama Bin Black Man? Whatever it is, it sounds VULGAR, disrespectful, and possibly racist.
PS: I'm sure you don't care either...
Jim McFalls ...themsa big fingers sun
Lou T Earl Skruggs dude. Look it up. He would be so proud.
Best I`ve heard science Flat & Skruggs. should be making big money.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is fantastic...loved her playing. Brings back memories of my grandfather. Thanks for sharing extreme talent with the world.
This young woman is very skilled. I enjoyed her performance.
Brilliant wasn't it?
Performance? What, you mean like sexual performance? You saying there's something wrong with her gear?!
Your simping hard bro.
Started play at the age of four
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !!!
Love how she's catching those variations that always pop up when you're hearing that song in your head. Just having fun with it & fleshing it out! Beautiful thing!!!
Oh my god who in the hell is giving a thumbs down on this? This adorable young lady is amazing and is playing one of the hardest instruments with Proficiency, style and grace. Wonderful job.
Jealous idiot people...she was amazing
Whoever down-liked this video probably just wants to get attention as they are hiding away in their mother's attic while eating Twinkies and Cheetos and dancing to old 80's music in their shorts.
Eh, the haters don't bother me. Let's just enjoy watching this beautiful lady play.
demoncrats
Even Lawrence Welk fans would like this.
At least, one of us does.
Actually banjo is one of the easiest
Really love that sound 😍
Badass. Nothing like the pure sound of a banjo being picked
just you wait till this kids dexterity comes in in about five years.
Featured on my homepage 2021, I absolutely guarantee you have it as well. Never watched a banjo picking girl yet CZcams it's time to go there. Go figure.
Same thing here. And she has 9 years of content after this... Why is youtube showing me a kid?
Same!
yup
the algorithm is a wild beast
Are you on CZcams aswell? Crazy I bet you didn't see that in your future crystal ball
What a wonderful talent!!!
Beautifully played.👌👌👌👌👍👍🙏🙏💐💐💐💐
Truly love to see succeeding generations still interested in this type of music!
Earl Scruggs is smiling on you girl.
Just wow!
totally impressed
What a wonderful concert for my lazy Friday morning. You are an excellent musician and I enjoyed litening very much. Thank you.
I had no idea this lass was so tiny! Love the old-school picking. Best of playing to you, ma'am
You OWNED this. VERY well done
Flawless. Well done. Very enjoyable.
I love it! I can’t play anymore. Arthritis and can’t get my fingers to coordinate. Only 64 years old. But you bring joy to my heart knowing that you’re carrying on. Cherish every moment that you make music. I miss doing it so much, especially around a campfire. I have one guitar that permanently smells of campfire. Thank you for bringing a bit of joy to this old mans heart.
Get well soon mister.
@@markynsaibasandarsondiengd2298 You don't "Get well" from arthritis, but I hope he does feel better.
1.1 thousand thumbs down. What's the matter, you all jealous of a teenage girl? You need to grow up and applaud her amazing talent.
too many attempting to like it on our phones without glasses on
I'm giving a thumbs up just because people can be so rude, and I can't find a reason to dislike it.
Face it, half of all people are below average, and 2% are downright morons. Coincidentally, the dislikes are 2% of the likes, so it must be the morons voting thumbs down. When you always bear in mind that 2% of all people are morons it explains so much in life.
There are people who would thumbs down the sermon on the mount. I don’t put too much stock into it.
fiziwig I’m surprised it’s just 2%. Especially when you’re driving!
Third time viewing this and every time I'm amazed by her ability with a banjo. I have never seen hands move that fast or skillfully before. I'm very impressed I actually feel like I should get a banjo and learn how to play myself. Willow keep up the good work and best of luck to you
Wonderful just wonderful
You've produced a smile on my craggy old face. Job well done!
My God! How could she do it in, a way, so relaxed, so smooth and yet so fast and musical.
bought my first banjo today after my electric guitar amp broke and stumbled upon your video just now. I do not regret buying it at all way to play that banjo ! I hope to be half as good.
Absolutely awesome
My hats off to anyone who can play this difficult song
Here I am in 2019 and loving this. You are absolutely amazing. Keep it up!
Amazing! I'm always impressed to see people so young and yet so talented!
This never gets old
As Steve Martin used to say when doing stand-up in the 1970s, you're always happy when you hear a banjo.
And Steve Martin is a great banjo player in his own right! 🤓
He also said, "Its not often you can pay $55 to watch someone jack-off like this!" (of his banjo playing)
Unless you’re the one paddling the boat
Not if your in a Canoe.......
By using stand up to pay the bills while studying to become a professional grade banjo player, he put himself in the surreal position of auditioning for gigs and being told, "don't quit your day job".
I think the banjo is one of the most missappreciated instruments out there, beautiful job young lady!🎼👍❤️
Noun. misappreciation (countable and uncountable, plural misappreciations) A failure to correctly and completely understand; an incorrect notion or belief that is a result of such a failure.
unappreciated
adjective
:
not fully understood, recognised, or valued.
I think you meant unappreciated.
Like the bagpipes
Could argue that about most string instruments. Like Kantele: czcams.com/video/8G4oCe7-Mak/video.html
Anyhow, don't know why CZcams recommended this to me, but it did sound nice.
I blame Deliverence and it's association with more rural areas, if you want your band to be big in a blue state, as bigoted as folks are, you won't be picking up the Banjo.
Totally amazing!
There she is, look at her go! Foggy Mountain all herself, so young ❣️
She’s just a wee bit bigger than her banjo. That was excellent, thank you
Yeee-haa! That has really cheered me up on this miserable rainy morning. Musical sunshine!
So great to see a young person appreciate country music when it was great. 1930-1960
Excellent, thank you.
Joyful! It makes this old codger real happy to see the next generation carrying on the joy of music. It's people like you that give me hope for the human race. Thanks so much.
1:02 You can see how genuinely happy she is that she got the difficult part right
I've played with enough people to know the "Yeah it was a mistake but I didn't train wreck" look lol
I didn't realize there was an easy part.
I didn't realize there was an easy part.
Incredible talent, I smiled the whole time.
