Aaron Stevens - Rooster Crow/Old Coon Dog - Traditional Monkey Shines

[@Thatguybob5]

Man, it’s like watching Uncle Dave Macon play

[@doggystyly]

Same voice 👻👍

[@CousinErn]

I about dropped that damn thing

[@Mo11y666]

The recovery was nice. Never saw someone do the flip without holding the dowel

[@CousinErn]

Thank you! I only just recently started to omit the dowel grab with the flip! Definitely have to be more careful, but what can I say I like the RUSH

[@Mo11y666]

When I used to busk and had slow foot traffic the spin and flips were a secret weapon almost a kick for that everytime.

[@seancline8130]

just subscribed to your channel , hope you keep em coming.

[@AdaM48state]

that was fantastic, thank you!!!

[@GeorgeCampbell1964]

Uncle Dave Macon inspired. He was quite a showman. I'm glad to see a young person take that piece of history and run with it and keep it alive!

[@nostalgiakarlk.f.7386]

Sick banjo skills!

[@figgypreserves]

I tried to like this video twice haha thanks for sharing

[@anthonywyndham1996]

All time great utube vids

[@nadaherepce]

Shout out to Dacusville, South Carolina

[@vs71597]

These flips are fucking insane. I’m showing this to everyone I know!!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@ryosaebamoi]

Me too but still afraid to do it by myself

[@NotTheRealRustyShackleford]

Obviously inspired by Leroy Troy!

[@vs71597]

@@NotTheRealRustyShackleford Aaron has covered Leroy on his own channel- go check it out!

[@NotTheRealRustyShackleford]

@@vs71597 Will do, thanks for the tip!

[@roaryratcoon]

Good on ya man! I can't even hold a glass of water without spilling it, much less one of my banjos.

[@milemarker_oscar_mike]

You had Old uncle Dave Macon flipping in his grave on that one.....👍👍 Awesome man

[@natecalkins5201]

I thought that Tackhead looked familiar. Thanks for the mention.

[@CousinErn]

Was stoked to get a banjer made by a freestyle skater 😂 Great work. Love this thing

[@dustinjohnson3463]

This channel makes me oh so happy

[@amywright2243]

Hilarious! That looks like a great day!

[@1strule00]

Can't stop watching. Truly inspiring stuff. Reminds of making a fire the way he plays, start with some kindling, get a few sparks, some smoke, two minutes later the fires blazing with an energy all its own.

[@fuchsiasaville]

I had to keep playing this to every friend, i have converted them all.

[@fuchsiasaville]

You are both very special talented men

[@fuchsiasaville]

I like when Aaron plays standing up replay lol.x

[@fuchsiasaville]

Really enjoyable made me feel better. Wanted a banjo and harp as a child growing up

[@fuchsiasaville]

I played violin though instead for 7 years against my will .I was just getting okay at playing it when the lessons got unaffordable for my Mum, and then I left home anyway when I was young at Fourteen years old.

[@thegreatders344]

I was impressed at the first little roll flip he did, was not expecting it to get that crazy lol

[@dcdc139]

This dude is awesome.

[@PermacultureAppalachia]

That first flip is PERFECT.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Outstanding sir. Uncle Dave would be proud!

[@rodneyseiwald5135]

We need to see more of this guy!

[@meh-canics9628]

Nice Form!

[@blainechappell5383]

It's one of the coolest things to see in person. Man!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

Wow! Leroy Troy would definitely approve! Thanks for sharing this. :-)

[@jeffcrowder1892]

Great stuff there, don't care what they say!

[@ohms497]

Thanks!

[@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter]

Thank you for preserving the spirit of this kind of thing

[@natalieengleman2753]

Oh my God!!! These flips are crazily impressive!!! Also the last song gave me chills!!! Aaron seems like such a cool guy, thanks for featuring him on your channel!!

[@quintinpace2627]

Aww shit. Now I know im going to break my banjo practicing that

[@Timbyte]

Need lyrics for that first tune, pls. good stuff.

[@curtisshaw5965]

That flipping is insane

Brilliant! Never seen the banjo played like that before.

[@Emma-pw8rt]

Epic! Lot of talent and great to see smiling/joking around aswell 😊 never seen skills like that.. Clifton thanks for introducing Aaron to us x

[@johnnyk.-b.2671]

Incredibly awesome!! Please more of him! 🙏

[@Matt85ism]

Watched it twice to make sure I had just seen what I seen! Gonna share this one with the friends and family.

[@libertylads4758]

This is mastery.

[@moffphc9864]

Loving all these videos cliff 😍

[@Mo11y666]

Did Uncle Dave Proud

[@sukamadik5983]

It's always a pleasure when you upload a video.

[@sukamadik5983]

Sir, that is not a baton. But if it was you'd definitely be a master at it 👍

[@mikeryan4742]

Great music !!!

[@danktalltrees3090]

Awesome moves sir

[@sampson623]

“Aaron Stephens” is his channel! Some tutorials there! Even a few comments left by Clifton!

[@appreciatizer5911]

That was incredible

[@allenbuck5589]

Outstanding thanks

[@NoahCline]

I don’t know, holding my breath there a couple times 😅 awesome stuff.

[@CousinErn]

Those close calls are written all over my face 😂

[@vinsamson8061]

Wow that was an epic watch🎉 thanks so much for posting this! I was transfixed and it’s given me a couple of little ideas when I play the next Lincoln folk club night! There maybe some injuries 😂🪕

[@geraldellis4875]

Can you juggle three banjos at once? I got my money on it! 🎶🌞🎶

[@zachb8012]

Flippy tricks that'd be the end of my banjo aside, I feel like this dude understands exactly what I love about old time music if these are the two songs he picked to perform on Clifton's channel. Coon dog is one of my all time faves, but just lost a lil' luster to Rooster Crow. His version of that song deserves a tutorial. Aaron broke down the flippy tricks on his channel. Y'all can learn how to drop your banjos, I just want to learn that song. How 'bout it there, Clifton? Aaron?

[@dustinjohnson3463]

Uncle Dave Macon,Leroy troy both do that Flippy trick very well

[@dangandee3184]

This is great for Aaron. It keeps him out of trouble.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

Anything to keep my baby out these streets. Out all night running wild, woman sitting home with a one month child, DANG ME.

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

Lovely and Fun! Kind Thanks! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

[@michaelharvey5138]

Great playing, and neat tricks !I could just about carry them tunes with my playing(I say just about!)..but if I tried the tricks, I’d lose it for sure !..

[@5150show]

Outstanding

[@AdaM48state]

fantastic!!!

[@bearshield7138]

very nice indeed

[@danwatkins2677]

I love this channel

[@McCoyFamilyFarm]

Im wondering what lesson we learn to do this in Cliff's Banjo Heritage classes? 😅 I may need to buy a toy banjo to practice my flips!

[@lonnieowsley]

This is darn good More songs pick that chicken pick it fast make sure you pick its ..... lol USA illinois

[@DanDDirges]

WoW! Great songs and performance! Double WOW how he flips that banjo all around and still keeping the song together! Amazing!

[@anthonywyndham1996]

Wow is that real. 🤣 Thanks

Getting some leroy troy vibes. And I love me some leroy troy.

[@Popcorn_Kernel]

My dumbass would drop the banjo on Thoes flips

[@ProfesserLuigi]

One wonders if he went through a couple before he got it down.

[@Popcorn_Kernel]

@@ProfesserLuigi I've hit my knee a few times doing the Uncle Dave under the leg flips and let me tell ya it fuckin hurts you and the banjo

[@ProfesserLuigi]

How light is that banjo?

[@CousinErn]

It almost floats around! I can hold it by the headstock upright with one finger

[@emcc127]

🙌🙌🙌

[@bobbobert5538]

How does a banjo keep playing when he flips it around L o l

[@Unwritten_Pages]

Banjo is tuned open so long as he bangs the strings it makes a chord.

[@lordtachanka903]

I think he has a backup rhythm banjo behind the camera. (Like one guy plays rhythm while the other plays melody and sings)

[@Popcorn_Kernel]

I can tell you that that banjo weighs nothing! I have a Calkins banjo and they are weightless. But his Gretsch has some weight. The trick is finding where the sweet spot is and keeping a good grip! I can do the same thing not as fancy though!

[@seirbhiseach]

@@lordtachanka903 he pulls them with his middle finger on his left hand as it’s flipped

Awesome we enjoyed seeing Aaron Steven’s at Hagoodmill yesterday my son w/ special needs just loves Banjos and I videoed your session for him to enjoy at home. We were there all day enjoying the festivities and Daddy’s Cookout FoodTruck ❤🪕🪕🪕🪕

[@odinsson204]

Hey guys? Have you thought about working with Abby the Spoon Lady?

[@IzaakAtlasSchwartz]

What is the tuning on the first banjo? I don't seem to recognize it.

[@shenandoahbanjar1383]

Very fun style to watch and listen to! I love how loose Aaron is when he plays. Was this a festival? I'd love to attend if it goes on next year.
