9 Year Old Fiddler - Mikayla Roach - Orange Blossom Special

[HalfATaco89]

meanwhile in nebraska

[r3my2009]

@godsfiddler I know that but she didn't have the other string on it yet idiot

[LoySisRoo]

i can only play clasical but i will look into fiddling

[r3my2009]

@thebadguyhall yes the violin has 4 strings and fiddle has 5 strings

[godsfiddler]

@r3my2009 ok, I always heard it's just the type of music played. I've been playing since I was 11, and am now 39, and have never seen a 5 stringed fiddle. This girl is playing a 4 stringed instrument.

[MrFreddy2189]

Compliment!!!!!!!!

[thebadguyhall]

Is there a difference between a Violin and a Fiddle?

[icappel]

@thebadguyhall The fiddle originally had a flat fingerboard, meaning that all four string were played at once. Now, the only difference is the style of music.

[altecman21]

I gotta say I loved it!!!!!

...Jimmy...

[sjnagele]

ok. you can take the tape off the fingerboard now. i don't think you need it any more!

[123fairylights]

[ThePaperFalcon]

Good on her! LOVE THIS SONG and she plays great C= plan on pickin' up a fiddle myself. I love this kind of music.

[xChefByRDx]

Isn't a fiddle really a violin?  Or are you suggesting they are two separate instruments?

[hellbound102]

@xChefByRDx the only difference between a fiddle and violin is how they are played, same instrument, however often when one is made for fiddle playing it will have a 5th string put on like the one she is playing, im not sure they do that for violin playing because its all generally classical.

[hellbound102]

@xChefByRDx my bad, a quick google search shows that a 5th string is sometimes used for violin playing too

[113050421]

sounds like home good job

[drpepperfied]

@Humorgous Fuck you. stereotyping. I bet youre either some old jerk, or emo with no friends. Im 17, finishing my last year of highschool and second year of college, play video games a lot, love rap, AND have played cello and piano for 12 years. Suck on that grandma

[jassatt1]

@drpepperfied And you've obviously gained a command of the English language, punctuation, grammar and spelling from your vast experience. Unfortunately courtesy was overlooked and vurlgarity was well imbued in your simian mind.

[fjbutch]

goodness.... that was cool....

[sproutcentral]

@fjbutch Good share Butch. Loved it ;-))

[Anglerfish1000]

[Kathylouu]

This is not redneck, this is culture that should be respected, just as any other culture (whether you like it or not-all cultures have good and bad points.)

[kapfoyka]

@cheeseitthecops

Maybe you should type in Johnson Mountain Boys Orange Blossom Special and listen to Eddie Stubbs play it... I believe you'll change your mind real quick.

[workonitm8]

Forget about the tape! Enjoy the little ladies talent!

GO! Mikayla!

[doublestopable]

For heaven's sake, you're good! Now take those fret markers off that you're not even looking at - and jump in!! Welcome to the world of fiddling!

[puppiepuppup]

[shamrock4500]

well done young lady, bravo

[bunnybastille1]

she's fantastic!



[ToMakeSilverSing]

Good God. Wish I could fiddle. But no, I'm hard wired for classical and rock.

[ashcroft8]

WOW !!!!

[TheGiantPony1]

Wow! Nice playing! And a five string violin? Sweet.

[fflleeuurryy]

girl , you rock!

[elvinbrent]

The difference between a violin and a fiddle is mainly the way you play it. Here is fundemental proof that fiddling is done standing up so you can stomp. It's hard to stomp in an orchestra.

[rwp4liberty]

Good Job!

[colleens4ever]

where is she now??

[VEMWMIKE]

Excellent! This little girl has great possibilities!

[CodylMullens]

omg, its the young girl version of Charlie Daniels!!!!!!!!!

[elhigh]

Holy cats, the kid is NINE!? Dang she's good.

So she's about 13 now. Now I'm going to search for the kid herself instead of Orange Blossom.

[ididso1]

What could do when you were nine years old.?

[c350Zee]

@slippingontheslide it's tape, for beginners

[GenJubalEarly]

One more comment about the tape and the General will take exception.

[holycrapitsalex2112]

@slippingontheslide I'm not the creator of this video, but I can tell you they're not frets, they're tapes so you know where to put your fingers.
