9 year old banjo boy Jonny Mizzone and his brothers Tommy 13 on guitar, and Robbie 12 on fiddle perform "Flint Hill Special" by Earl Scruggs on the Late Show with David Letterman.
Banjo kid: Somebody hold my juice box while I beat a confession outta this banjo.
LMAO!
Good one! 😆
FABULOUS COMMENT!😂
His name is Jonny! They are such sweet people and an amazing family! Me and my family are friends with them and their dad! they played at my sweet 16 in 2016 you can look it up on their RUclips. I’ve been friends with em since 2015! :)
Me when I was 8: Eating fruit roll ups
These kids:

Banjo Kid: Gets all the Attention.
Violin & Guitar Kid: Hol' our Moonshine!
LMAOOO
Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo I do not know what that means
but that’s illegal
@Vortex x Same instrument :) Just different names depending on how they are played
Yes, in modern bluegrass everyone is impressed with the banjo for some reason. Meanwhile, fiddlers have the most difficult job.
These young men look like they are enjoying this! They are fantastic!
all thats missing is one big bar fight
and a bass!
Cue Steven Seagall launching someone through a window....
Or a car chase on a dirt road
Stereotypes from people who probably use phrases like “people of color,” “White Privilege,” etc, etc.
And of course no one cares when an a show business elitist think exploiting children so the Walton family, and their puppets like Hillary and Bill Clinton and get themselves power and wealth by pretending they give a rats ass about working underdogs, is appropriate material for his monologue.
People in “fly over country,” have watched since the 1960s while their communities have been destroyed by the money changers and their Congressional, Judicial, and Executive Branch Minions forced workers to train foreign workers to do their jobs, closed their plants, crated the equipment inside,and shipped anywhere they could to get beyond the reach of fair labor laws, safety rules and regulations, pollution controls, and pensions. Then they turned around and sold the often substandard merch (because uneducated barefoot 9 year olds who work 66 hours a week, week in and week out, they just don’t know how to produce the quality.
So go ahead and mock fly over country, and Trump supporters who want manufacturing of America needs.*•
Lol you are god damn right
That's the purest grass around! Tender hearted young ones got that sacred rhythm!
And me, at that age, so proud of myself for figuring out you could fix a Nintendo cartridge by blowing on it.
I didn't figure that out till 12
Ephesians4:32 sad momento
Me at that age, proud of my beginning piano lessons.
You can't actually. Blowing on it is useless. It would work the same if you just took the cartridge out and then put it back in again. In fact blowing on it makes it worse because of the saliva, so it can degrade faster.
😂 I love the last comment actually correcting you. We're doomed. 🌎 🔥
Music to listen to while driving on a high speed chase from the cops after a bank robbery
both your's and the cop's cars break down, but it's next to a train track with hand cars on them
Or delivering a load of moonshine
This made my day!
🤣🤣
Or on horses
The hardest part was to keep that banjo in tune and the kid nailed it. His ears must be pure gold !

+ruispuuro but does it djent ?
+ruispuuro And the precision with which he was doing it. Not a flaw!!!!
***** I wouldn't go as far as saying: "it requires no skill", clearly the kid has skills.
+Michael hater
All I can say is WOW!!! I'm amazed at these three extremely talented young men! I'm going to watch it again! Like, right now...
Absolutely amazing. I was expecting kids. These are world class musicians
Mark Younger your probably not a musician if you think that
Guys, HERE is Our True Savior

Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
@@victoriaeve459 How was it not amazing?
I can't believe what I just watched! Unbelievable! Completely blown away, these boys are unreal. I've only ever seen old boys play like that, just insane, love it
Who in their right mind would ever gives this video a thumbs down? These kids were and are amazing !! That was just awesome, I've never seen a banjo player tune it while playing like that. Guess you learn something new all the time.
He wasn’t tuning, he was using his scrug tuners, he changed the note up or down a whole note. Earl Scruggs invented it.
There's a lock on the tuner that stops it at the right tuning. This is a classic banjo song. Beautiful!!

There’s always an arsehole somewhere. I loved it
@@iancampbell3202 you loved the arsehole? erm, okay. Each to their own i guess. lol
i see three talented boys there not only one.
but one of them is 9 so they get all the attention
+Tale of.... p. Good to know pap,, now shut up gotta listen :D
Bob Smith are u trying to say they aren't just as good or better than half the bluegrass players I've ever seen?
Bob Smith I take back my original comment. They are better than 99% of bluegrass players I've seen.

"i've got blisters on my fingers" - a quote that fits perfectly with what is happening
My wife and I love yall yall are the best yall ever need anything head on down to Texas fellas
Is the banjo kid actually changing tuning *during* the song? That's damn cool
It’s sort of a technique to create that sound. Lots of people do it.
@@Ms.Fowlbwahhh TY for the info, as a novice guitar player I couldn't imagine doing that mid-song
These are d-tuners that have stops so they can tune down to a certain note and back up to the same note.
The composer of the tune, Earl Scruggs, had what we call "cam-tuners" which were placed between the regular tuners and bent the strings behind the nut to provide the effect. The young man in the video is using a 1960's invention of banjoist Bill Keith which enables the banjoist to manipulate the tuners with stops at pre-selected intervals.
@@oldcremona I had a set on my banjo and it takes great timing to turn the tuner at the right moment or it could turn into a train wreck. This kid nailed it. Was definitly not his first rodeo.
Love how he tunes the banjo up and down throughout the performance. It really gives it a unique sound.
I think few people really acknowledge how hard it is to play this "hillibilly" music
that's extremely true. it ain't hard to find a track and sing behind it, but his you are playing stringed instruments, often implementing your own licks it the music repeating it over and over to build fluency. actually, the sleepy man banjo boys got me into wanting g to learn to play, however, after 2 years I didn't get far because couldn't find a good teacher for a good price.
Noel River this "hillbilly" music is also the foundation of what eventually became rock.
+Joe Williams Ive known many very good self taught musicians along the way. One friend i had went as far as to pick the needle up off his record player to backup and listen repeatedly. Last i heard he was playing guitar with the army over in Germany.
Nah, I think you have to be very ignorant to diss the effort those guys are doing.
dont need a teacher its called practice
All three of them are shockingly talented! My goodness!!
Talent, hard work and determination: They add up to great inspiration!!!
I get so emotional hearing this music. Getake me in tears it's so beautiful.
To the people who disliked this video: Remember when you were this age and kicking ass on Letterman? Didn't think so..
I almost painted my monitor with coffee just now...thanks for the laugh :-)
How could you not like that? Those guys are incredible.
Great comment Andy!
Awsome bahahahahaha
I agree and commend that comment!!! (the original one)
No flashy lights, no dancing around, no autotune, just three mics unplugged with nowhere to hide and they did DAMN better than a lot of modern day superstars. This is REAL talent! Bravo kids!
I've been playing banjo for nearly 30 years and fiddle for nearly 40 . Those kids are better than me. Mad amount of talent.
I went from watching little north Korean children playing guitars to this... I'm not disappointed in my RUclips choices today.
+Nathan Hovey I literally just came from that video XD
Same lol
OMG me too bro haha
+Lucas Meade HAHAH ME TOO :DD
Eemuumi I like these kids though, raw talent at its finest.
Applaud their parents. These boys were raised RIGHT!!!!
+Sandeep Mahajan Seems about right
+Sandeep Mahajan Damn aint it right billy boy,
Raised right. ...They were actually probably forced to practice these instruments day in and day out. If that's being "raised right," then yea. Sure.
+Miguel bear Why the fuck do you think that's the case?
Have you checked on their raising?
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!! How proud are your parents !!! Very lucky !!! Well done , AND DEFINITELY NOT CRINGY!!!!!
Perfectly done trio! I loved the touch of tuning the banjo throughout the performance and then making it part of the last part of their awesome performance! All smiles to you!
Was so glad to show my old man thos before he passed . he always love that earl tune tune
What a good man.
16 Million views.... i d say job done...not music we listen to down here in Cape Town....but wow !..,,think u lads must come and show us what we missing...good work !!
Check out some good bluegrass, it's awesome.
These young men were fantastic! Earl Scruggs would be so very proud of these young men. Great job!
THIS right here is what life is (or should be) ABOUT. Thank you.
I agree 100% !!! Great soul you must have :D
Back at you!
If there was ever a family born to play strung instruments ..... Id say we just saw them
terrcurr WOW !
Check out the Kempter Family....impressive beyond expectations for any one family.
wow ! this kids are amazing musicians...
hugs from brazil !
Growing up as a kid, watch my Uncle play the bajo, was amazed by how fast hes finger moved!
That little fella on the banjo looked so at ease while his fingers were flying. He looked like it required no effort. Of course, all three boys did a great job.
I taught myself Flint Hill Special 58 years ago (when I was 12) by slowing down a Flatt and Scruggs album to 16 RPM on an old record player. I didn't have the tuner gizmo, so I did it on the fretboard. I never mastered the tune, but then again, I never mastered the 5-string. But, I still play it to this day. This kid would plays in Sleepy Man Banjo Boys out of NJ and is still ripping it. We haven't heard the last of the Mizzone Brothers.
Im a classical violinist, and Im telling you, that kid with the violin's got skill!
Please make a video on you playing the violin!!
What's the difference between a violin and a fiddle? A violin has "strings" while a fiddle has _"strangs"!_ 😆😂🤣
Beautiful ! 😁 I love them with their cowboy music. I like country type ❤️
Truly excellent! The little guy with the banjo is an amazing talent. Earl Scruggs would love this little guy! The fiddle player also very talented and nice phrasing and fretwork. Hope they go far and get the recognition they deserve.
314 a1011 Not trying to start a fight here, but Snuffy Jenkins was playing that 3 fingered style way before Earl Scruggs
314a1011 Now that I did not know thanks for the Scruggs tid bit . I'm an big fan of banjo love to hear it played ,but this kid blew me away. Wasn't trying to start a fight thanks for being a sane person that can talk and share information without being a ugly about it. :)
314a1011 Thanks for the info I'll check that video.:)
Meanwhile they're grown older and are on Spotify, check em out!
Wow they all have amazing talent and it's not just the one that's shining all of them are amazing
I play the banjo and I can tell you that a good banjo has a brass tone ring and is HEAVY! I'm amazed that a 9 year old kid and stand and play a quality banjo without getting back spasms or some other problem more than I am that he can play that well.
I thought these boys were absolutely awesome! I would be so damn proud if those were my kids
Have you seen those book bags kids carry around on their backs?
WELL done boys ,you are great.....this is my kind of music......all the best from England uk.
Holy crap! They sound like they have been playing for 30 damn years! Great job guys!
Thought that guitarist was just keeping up....until that awesome solo. All three of these kids are just the kind a father hopes for! Wow! Awesome.
grew up in the banjo and fiddle needless to say the guitar to. them boys got talent out of this world
Amazing kids. Blessed with talent like no other. Please keep playing. Unbelievably great. Thx.
THIS right here is the most WOW video Ive ever seen in my whole existence!!
Roberto Rico hahahahaha. poor guy. no game whatsoever.
Roberto Rico hahaha she is Natalie Imbruglia

And what a little cutie pie !!! Look at that sweet smile !!!
So awesome, great skills, AWESOME!!!
Boy these kids are awesome thanks for posting
They don’t even look nervous! I love how Jonny just ties the band together and is so supportive of his brothers’ solos!
kinda restores my faith in our youth nice job boys
So beautifully Americana. I'm so glad a new generation is taking it to a whole new level
I was very very impressed by your performance.
I`m happy to share this video.
Best regard from Japan.
🎶M countryboy🎸
I will never understand RUclips's recommendations, but I don't care. THIS IS AWESOME
hahaha
These boys are a credit to their parents, give a kid great purpose and it keeps them off the streets!
Well done, hope you're all still playing with nimble fingers 🎻🪕🎸🎼🎵🎶
plus, if they do go on to live off the streets. they can earn money by playing music. just a back-up plan for them
@@gameforlifestyle2021 That wan't nice!
I live with a 73 year-old banjo player. I can't wait to show him this!
Keep in rollin dudes. Awesome tune.
'Scuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor....
+Troy Young This comment made me laugh out loud!
I'm still waiting to find mine
+Avox Ask the presenter what fixative he uses for his dentures.
Chicks dig the banjo but they also dig the guitar and the fiddle - the boys are ALL incredible musicians.
*money
well thank you ;)
they play real good for being that young age real good i must say . hope it goes well forem in the future.
Awesome!! These kids are unbelievable!! And a pretty cool response Rosalie!!!!
Thanks. I think all instruments are cool if played well.
Holy cow - pure talent. This vid is over 8 years old.....I can only imagine the hot sauce they're making' now. Wonderful performance - brilliant. Bravo.
I remember seeing this 10 yrs. ago. I wonder how these boys are now? Gonna search their other stuff. They blew me away then... I can imagine how they are today. GL boys. You're what's needed in America.
I liked how they were all able to showcase each of there talents.
That tuning was both quick and entertaining, impressive
Eric Williamson he wasn’t tuning
That banjo player is SICK1!!! Oh, the other two were tearing it up, but haven't seen anyone tune hi/low during a song; I can see mid song for a key change, but damn!
...and to the 1702 of you that disliked, you can ride the bench with Knaepernick.
what do you mean sick?. is he ill.? how do you know?. whats wrong with him?
Just in case you're not joking: "Sick" means "incredible" in this context. :)
bad boy dumb
Chris Janquart l
They were at The Station Inn last month. Completely blew it out of the water.
All three of these young men were outstanding.
Everyone’s gushing about the banjo kid, but that violinist…😱 they’re all GREAT
this title gives WAY to much credit to the banjoplayer kid, they are all freaking awesome!!! *typos*
I don't think so and I can tell you why. Cause it's right, his bros are as talented, but never as cute as he.
Jonny was the one that started the whole thing! :)
Very talented boys! It was a great joyful experience to listen to them.
Banjo kid never even breaks a sweat...........................great bunch.........
Amazing Amazing Amazing.....Wow !!
Jesus Christ their fingers loaded faster than my internet
I can’t like because it’s 69 likes
YEEEEEEEHHAAAAAAAAAAH
ROFL, Very good, I like it
This loaded faster than My csgo games
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
holy crap these kids are awesome!
I seriously pissed myself the first time I heard this...the speed, the SPEED...and I am from the FAR east of Tennessee so I have heard my fair share but these boys.wow.
Fantastic!
All they need is an upright bass and a singer.
Dang, that's so cool!
And a mandolin.
+Tai the Fox (Troy) and a Dobro
+Stewart Werner Yep.
Akrahm Joltevskoy thanks for the first laugh I've had today
Redhead sisters& walker boys
The 9 year old is 16 now
the 12 year old is now 19
and the 13 year old is now 20
Quick maffs
.... and Letterman retired 😁😁😁
How did I just find this?
It's great
@Tatopuaspeed Strings
What??
at least they can drive now
WOW! I'm Aussie but i do love some fast banjo playing!
So... Aussies shouldn't like fast banjo playing?
Connor Kitchen It's not something I ever thought I'd like. These kids are really talented.
Yeah, usually Aussies like slow banjo playing.
Yea so you think Australians like things slow., the only time we have to do anything slow is when waiting for a American to say something intelligent..
brian critchley like saying that we let are childrens brains fully mature before they can legally drink? I'm pretty that letting your children legally get drunk before that time is harmful SOOOOO . your calling us dumbass's when you don't even let your kids brains fully developed before you let them destroy them
Why do I need to go on anymore, these guys have clearly surpassed all
I looked up the band yesterday & I noticed they’ve already been on the Grand Ol’ Opry, so keep on playing for thousands of people.
They played for +30mil people bravo
Always, Amazing!
How the hell does he pull off that tuner trick and still stay in tune O_O Incredible.
+Pawz iS There are specials tuning pegs that you can lock so it only goes down and up 1/2 a tone, or 1 tone, nothing skilled in that. But juste "in that" !
Wow! I'm 62 and trying to learn the ukulele. Good bless you boys
I was like "AAAAHAAAAAHAAA" after every solo :D
They're amazing. Don't have a clue why I didn't come across this act earlier. But I'm glad that I finally did.
Wow. That kid on guitar is incredible. He is not even looking at the frets at all during his solo. Even Jimmy Page glances at the frets during solos.
I've been saying this....as a guitar player I have to give props to someone that skilled. His runs and timing were supernatural
My God these children are so fun aminul God bless each and every one of them
Wow! whatever became of them and their talents? very amazing, all.
that little kids first girlfriend will never be the same...
HAHAHAHA
true.....
Good
Lol
hilarious hahaha
My relatives in Sevier County, all musicians. would tell you that this is hard, and these children were born brilliant!!
These kids have amazing talent for the Grand Ol’ Opry .
Agreed they need to be on the grand ol' opry
flying fingers...just amazing!
American folk music at it's very best ! well done boys !
"If you're gonna play mountain music, you'd better have a fiddle in the band". These kids are better than a lot of adults I've listened to. :D
that banjo player has got mad skills
I
L for handing out unnecessary Ls.
Absolutely amazing, my fingers couldn’t move that fast. Wow love this.
Great stuff ...these are talented guys.
Why would someone dislike this video? What is wrong with people!
I agree!! If you don't have anything nice to say about what these boys do - then no comment please!!! My husband and I run a school of music and teach guitar, fiddle banjo, mandolin and piano. I assure you these boy enjoy it or they would not be this good!!
If ya'll know anything, you would know the kid playing the banjo is the class of this whole thing.
All that talent in three brothers! It gives rise to doing some genetic research into that gifted family...
