  • wow!Ilove banjo! go takumi!

    btw,where do you live?

    It seems like you live in U.S or somewhere else.

  • Thank you evrebody!

    I told your messages to him.

    He plays the banjo everyday now.(without studying!!)

  • Wow! Best I've ever heard!

  • Thank you !

    Your comment will encourage him.

  • Great picking for 12 years old. Slow down a bit and pick clean. Better to be clean and in time than fast and sloppy. Your gonna be awesome!

  • Thank you for your advice.

    I also think so.

    Recently sometimes he practice to play slowly and correctly timing.

    Maybe he knows that it's difficult and important.

    However, he likes to play it fast.

  • Super slick! I have been playing for around 40 years now, and mid-way, I was afraid Bluegrass might die. Seeing you play like that all the way in Japan gives me hope that this fabulous artform will continue long after I'm gone. Keep up the excellent picking.

  • I wouldn't say they are any more gifted, just a whole lot more dedicated and determined! This kid sure can play.

see all

  • koderinは、君の名前じゃなかったんですね!失礼しました­!お父さんですか?僕にも11歳の倅がいますが、僕が音楽で飯を­食っているので、余りにも音楽に慣れ親しんでいるのでしょう。あ­えて音楽をやりたいとは言いませんし、やらせようとも思っていま­せん。僕はオーボエが専門ですが、その他50ほどの楽器を演奏す­るので、"やりたいときには楽器は幾らでもあるよ”と言っていま­す。その内何かに親しんでくれれば良いかな、と思っています。

  • Koderin君は今幾つですか?僕も、君と同じ様に日本での子­供の頃からバンジョーを弾き始めたんですよ。小学校の5年の頃だ­ったかな。その後、オーボエを始めて、結局はそれの勉強でアメリ­カに来てもう23年になります。でもバンジョーを忘れた事は一度­もなく、クローハンマーもプレクトラムも弾くので色んな仕事をし­ています。もう46に成りますが、オーボエが仮に吹けなくなって­もバンジョーは弾いていく積りです。君の益々の精進を祈っていま­す。

  • awesome

  • Man!! this is great! well done!

  • @Nanomachinist How's about we teach our children that music is more than who can play the fastest. I've seen too many videos of children playing things without any consideration to what the song is about. Just sayin'....
