How to Play Spoons 5 - the "Roll" (Spoon Lady)

[@dragonlinadragon7948]

You are an enlightened person and have a good energy...I feel good when I watch your videos ... congratulations on your art!

[@mtnhayes8592]

Ms Abby the Master Spooner. Is teaching “Spoonerism”. Class is in. Thank you!

[@spcandy333]

mtnhayes loon spady would be her name as a spoonerism

[@nicholelarue2499]

Have! Love the play on words. Fun fact: Spoonerism is an actual word. A spoonerism is a speech error in which the speaker switches the initial consonants of two consecutive words. If you say "bunny phone" instead of "funny bone," you've uttered a spoonerism.

who the heck puts thumbs down on something so entertaining as this?..wow..thanks Abby!

I do!

[@tonysloggett106]

@@ericwilcox5925 well aren`t you special.

[@SpoonLady]

Yeah. Special.

I love you, Lady !!! I'm from KY, and we like our spoons !! Never have seen someone as good as you !!!!

[@thanemcewen6737]

Watching you play the spoons is an artform!

[@AdamSpade]

Thane McEwen how is watching her play the spoons an art form? Don’t give yourself too much credit. I’m kidding you for your choice of words, of course. 😬

[@willowmichael3085]

I'm so very glad I found you by accident! I can't say how fantastic it is to see a lost art form come back with such talent, and I love the way you teach with the slow repetition. Just like when I was young and Sunday was family music day. You've really taken me back to times forgotten. Thank you so much!

[@elizabethfclark03]

I could watch you play the spoons all day!

[@MasterMichelleFL]

💚💚💚 Have an AWESOME day, too Abby. Keep shining that beautiful light! 💚💚💚

[@davidaston5773]

Have a great day to you too Jennifer. Can't beat some old fashioned American music from the blue grass and old time rag.

[@MasterMichelleFL]

@@davidaston5773 yessss! 😎👍

[@Finley0312]

I'm from the Adirondacks originally but moved out west to El Paso. Miss the gravely music and blue grass with simple instruments. Found so much comfort in your music rhythm thought id try spoons myself. Can't sing can't carry a tune in a bucket if i tried. But i do enjoy your videos and public work you do and and that enjoyment is all that counts! Thank you for being YOU!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I absolutely love your spoon playing. I actually played spoons many years ago when I was young in church and am trying to relearn how to play them properly again. Keep the vids coming, I'm a fan!

[@barbibutton9619]

Hope you rekindle your desire and talent. Many try, few succeed that I know of. Good luck to you

[@rebeccaturner7904]

Trying to learn how to play. Did it as a kid! Love watching you play Abby. So ready to see and learn more tips. Love you Abby

[@pgh412east]

Had a very hard life... Know thst u are giving to the world. No matter what else u may have had done to u or done to others, this is ur gift. Ur solice. Ty Holly Lynn Murr

[@MasterMichelleFL]

So excited.... My Irish great grandfather played the spoons. He was SUCH a character!!💚💚💚 I think I know how to roll, just here for the kindred. Still, I always learn or am inspired by you, Abby. You bring the memory of my great grandpa playing spoons, back to LIFE. He was so much FUN!! Laughing, singing, and rolling them spoons... lol. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@sentimentaloldme]

I play a different tempo on the spoons..Reels, Jigs, and Hornpipes. My most popular video on my channel is the spoon playing one..ha..ha. That are often played at sessions here in Ireland but musicians don't particularly like them they prefer the Irish drum which is called a Bodhrán.

[@ladylaois8184]

Finnabair beautiful skill

[@shawnmathis690]

Abby your awsome. Thanks for the videos on how to play spoons. I've been playing spoons since I first saw you on KZbin more than a year ago. Never be as good as you but I love play.

[@deborahcresswell1616]

This does help so much. Thank you. My son is a drummer and over the weekend I showed him the roll I’d learned after watching your first video, mind you he’s witnessed my very plain Jane spoon playing over the past thirty years, and he was genuinely super proud of me for learning a new skill. I still can’t really do it up to speed so I had to revert to my basics when playing with my daughter and husband for our Mother’s Day gathering yesterday but I’m not giving up. It’s so fun and it adds so much to the jam sessions. Can’t wait til I get up to speed and my brother comes over to play. He plays bluegrass super fast. That’s gonna be so fun.

[@markratte]

I've played music all my life, I'm 64 now, and this FASCINATES me

[@normangabbard8816]

Abby.. Through you.. Your bringing back one of the oldest know instruments to porch mountain music.. An instrument that brings to mind the front porch or barn playing. Special gatherings of folks using music to put smiles on faces during very hard times.. Thank you Abby.. Trates like this should never ever die..

[@bean269]

Thank you for the gift of YOU' and sharing the gift' sharing with us your talent in that, we can all play along' with spoons AND you spoon lady Abby ♥️

[@petersurdo4984]

And here I was all these years trying to play the forks. I love your music. I have no cultural connection to it but I know what I like.

[@michaelgaynor6866]

[@lisamooney7026]

I have several spoons that i got at thrift stores and my kitchen to see what sounds best i practice alot. I love your videos

[@rainey490]

You can teach all you want! There's only one spoon lady in my life! & if anyone learns from you, they better be good!🤘❤🤘

[@rodneylynn1354]

Thank you Abby!! Because of you, I am now obsessed with playing the spoons! That's a good thing!!!

[@irinasukhova2605]

Огромное спасибо!!!!! Я восхищаюсь твоим творчеством!!! Я играла на деревянных ложках, в детстве... Но даже не могла себе представить подобного!!!!! Спасибо большое ☺️

[@9019dd]

I have watched a number of Abby's videos but this is the first one where I heard her talk. Abby has a really lovely voice.

[@kathrinekerns8398]

Never tried to play before. Very interesting to watch. I am going to show this to my grandson. He plays the drums. Thank you for showing us this technique.

[@sebacejas]

It is magnificent what you do. God is manifested by your hands. greetings from Argentina

[@amandathomas3075]

I just love and appreciate what you do. Thank you for sharing the how to basics. You're a legend Abby!!!

[@mapleviewfarm1]

I'm getting quite the collection of spoons. I'm looking for them every time I'm in a thrift shop! Got my grandkids playing too. Eagerly waiting on new teaching videos. I can't figure out how you play so well without hitting them on your lap. One of these days I'm going to get it! Thanks for all the lessons!

[@ktrain4996]

Love your talent Abby, you are awesome! You need to write a book of your life story!

[@deeharrell4657]

Abby...love the spoons but most of all love your down to earth "I'm me" nature! It's very hard to find people so comfortable in their own skin! Thank you for sharing yourself with the world! Comments are coming from around the world! You bring people together! God bless you!!

[@cynthiamcgee3109]

I’m eight years old I’m trying to play the spoons and I can because I watch you. Please keep on posting more videos❤️❤️❤️

[@dalisegar2513]

Me: *watches video super excited spoonlady: slow motion and very clear instruction. me: still sound nothing like video.

[@SFilledSue]

Thank, Abby! I’m a piano major and never thought I’d enjoy this music too❣️😄❣️

[@mikala6798]

Gonna look in my drawer for some old spoons😘 You are such a joy and I know God is smiling down on you, such a beautiful soul Thank you for the joy and light you bring into a world that has gone dark. Keep shining your light God bless you Abby 🤗🤗😘

[@5ku11z]

miss abby, thank you for all the rhythm you give us and the lesson, you are awesome!!!!!!!

[@mikamcdonald9974]

I saw your most famous video a couple of years back and was happy to hear your music. I found a set of rhythm bones in some family heirlooms a number of years ago and have always been drawn to playing spoons for some reason. I’ve never know anyone who played spoons and hadn’t ever pursued taking lessons but I am SO glad I have found you learn how to play videos!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :-) I’ve been holding my spoons and bones quite differently than you instruct and now I see why it’s been so hard to produce certain sounds and keep track of that bottom anvil spoon. I’m planning on a lot of practice this winter since I’m couch bound with a broken knee and now have plenty of forced down time. Thanks for all of your videos. I really enjoy them.

[@omitsuissey6302]

I love your work and your lessons with the rhythm of the spoons Abby 🎶🎶🎶.🌹. Thanks for all.

[@karlahiggins5993]

You're amazing! Thank you

[@dawntreader2420]

I love this video so much. You walk it through so simply. I love the phrase "pretty much... watch the first video!" I started with spoons at age 11. I saw someone use them at a youth worship. I played and figured out how to play on my own with regular spoons. I never had a genius moment of clarity to use coban! What? Comfort? Ruin some spoons? Huh? It's brilliant. My main struggle was how much they slipped. I never thought.... just ruin ONE pair of spoons and keep'm for music.... Ha! As an adult I can now abuse my silverware as I please! Sadly, it has taken until age 40 to decide that I can ruin cutlery. You are my destructive muse. It is by your behest that I am now motivated to buy and destroy silverware at my whimsy! Bahaha! I have the POWER!!!

[@coyotebite397]

Your awesome, I don't think I'll ever be able to play like you, cant hold the spoons that great with nerve damage. Love your videos.

[@MsJanet]

Awesome, more lessons please, Abby. I used to play around with playing the spoons when I was a teenager, I've always been fascinated by it. You inspire me to try playing the spoons again

[@TheOcctopus]

Always fancied playing the spoons.. now with Abbys help I can... picked some up last night and learnt the roll ... 👌 thanks for taking the time to share Abby.. x

[@bennettmusiccollective3218]

Because of you, the next song I produced will have someone playing the spoons. The sound adds so much colour to the project. Thank you for inspiring me. 🎶❤️🙏✌️🎄

[@klyde171]

I'm about to learn to play because of you...amazing work

[@sentimentaloldme]

Tip: Start with teaspoons and get a Bluegrass/Irish Music Track on YT that's not too fast..After that it's just practice..If you can dance or tap two coins on a table to the rhythm of a tune..you can play the spoons.

[@joebullock3385]

That is awesome , you spread joy

[@markhawkins5022]

Love whatching you play your spoons. Keep the vids coming.

[@williamblakeley3744]

Love that spoon lady 👍

[@victorvargas4120]

I enjoy your spoon playing a lot and I am learning how to play spoons. Thank you.

[@bjstone435]

love, love your spoon playing! I'm 56 years old and am just trying to play the spoons. I thought it would be more difficult, but surprisingly I'm pretty comfortable with them. I am by NO means good at it, but I am just beginning. I have watched all of your videos and love your music. I am a born and raised Texas gal, nothing fake and do not fit in anywhere, and don't care. I prefer the back of a horse to a vehicle, freedom to hunt, fish, and camp, and a good dog by my side. Don't care about outward appearance because it's what's inside that matters. Please keep being you and please keep making video's. The one thing I am having trouble with is finding good old spoons, not Stainless. I will keep playing what I have til I find the right ones for me.

[@pourlapaix57]

i'm french and i like you and your spoons , i feel me so happy when i show your music , thank's for your enjoy

[@herbertorendorff6323]

[@kilgoretrout6136]

I love watching you play. Thanks so much!

[@jessicagharris6235]

I finally decided it was time to give this a go. I'm hoping for heavier spoons once I get home but this has given me the same joy as being a little kid yelling Queen lyrics and banging pots and pans!

[@jspyrogram]

Thanks for teaching us Abby!

[@billyjack5251]

Love it. Keep the tradition going!

[@moondogmcblackfoot]

[@Shamrock770]

I absolutely adore you! I'm currently learning the banjo, but I think spoon playing would fit right in to all the bluegrass festival jams! Thank you for posting your videos!

[@KenJohnsonUSA]

You are amazing! When I was a child, a gentleman played spoons at the church I attended. Now, they don't allow spoons or tambourines in the churches. I joked with the pastors and said the reason the churches have lost their anointing is that they kicked out the spoons and tambourines. Well, a pastor told me that he'd let me, and only me, play the spoons if I'd learn them. Now, I plan to take him up on it! My question though is what do I look for in spoons? Everyone has an opinion. Some say to buy cheap spoons because the expensive ones are too high-pitched. Some say soup spoons but others say oversized tablespoons work best. Some say that you need a wide base. Others say that I shouldn't worry at all about the spoon type because I will have to modify the spoons and that I will eventually have different types for different songs. What do you suggest?

[@elf6460]

I am learning to play spoons, thanks to your inspiring videos! Please keep doing what you're doing, and please make more teaching spoon videos!!!!
