Jim Mills playing a TB2

[@ermancroney3805]

What a wonderful privilege to get to play with the best banjo player in the world!!! That was very special. Love Jim. Miss him already.

[@bobthabuilda1525]

Something I've noticed about Mr. Mills in every video I've watched is that on top of being a great picker, he seems like such a great guy. From complementing someone's instrument to giving encouragement to a young player, it seems he's constantly finding ways to brighten the day of the people around him. I can't tell you how much I wish there were more people like him in this cutthroat industry of ours.

Each note Jim Mills plays is just so crisp and clean and distinct. Love it.

[@ronaldletourneau8292]

Just makes me want to spit up!

[@mikebarnett1007]

I got to meet him after a Ricky Skaags concert.He was friendly and signed the CDs I bought .I love these videos even better than the CDs.Just a man whos enjoying his banjo!

[@stellingbanjodude]

His left hand technique has always bewildered me

[@robertpinsler1381]

My start in banjo picking began with Pete Seeger's little yellow booklet " How to play the 5 string banjo" and in it he was asked what does a banjo sound like? His reply: Fast as lightning and hard as nails". Ain't that the truth and this performance is the ultimate in my opinion.

@MsFiddle1992 Are you kidding? Your playing was terrific! I've gotten many comments about how good it was. Sending a PM.

[@teakbridge101]

Don't be so hard on yourself! Faith is the key, and you're still so young! Never compare yourself to people more then twice your age.

One thing Jim has mastered is Ruben hr is right up there with scruugs with that song.

[@kcs764]

You won't hear a better version of train 45 (Reuben) than this---the lonesome fiddle is top notch!

[@kishintuchis4133]

rueben was the tune earl said he was playing when he, at 9 0r 10 years old, found that he was playing the 3-fingered roll for the first time, that is the foundation of scruggs picking.

[@therealdiehl4671]

After years of frustration and "hiding in the closet" I finally figured out the most important things. One, play with others, Two, have fun! I've never seen any one throw rocks at a struggling banjo picker.

[@nasty5oh]

Great post.

[@banjofeber8038]

Great stuff !

[@DA-gm9yu]

Love Jim's playing he plays it powerful and hard, I try to do that too. The sound he gets out of it cool.

[@teakbridge101]

[@artesviagenseaventuras9608]

[@teakbridge101]

Jim gets better every month, I swear.

[@Aviator-oj9wy]

Царствие небесное Джиму. Удивительный человек. Покойся с миром.

[@toddlilienthal]

Please let me know if you're ever looking to sell that banjo. I like the tone.

[@old706]

Huber conversion? Great banjo.

[@christianpatte5045]

RIP JIM

[@kennethotwaska7997]

I have in a gibson bango. my dad playee throughout his life there is a number stamped inside 9486-76 is there any that can tell how old this bango is and if I should have it insured. ken from wisconsin

[@thebitterrootbluegrassboys7002]

I checked the banjo number files and it said this was most likely a 1929 tb-1 that would sale anywhere from 4,000 to 5,000 dollars

[@flatpikinguitar]

who is the fiddle player

[@mood103201]

shes damn beautiful

[@bxnnyblues6033]

Cool.

[@MjrMjr-tt3kn]

Who in the hell would give this video a thumbs down? Only Jealous losers!

[@teakbridge101]

Everyone talks about Ron Stewart as the "tone guru." But check Ron on KZbin and see how many videos he has in comparison to Jim! I think we all know who is the REAL tone guru!

[@teakbridge101]

Who are you referring to? You should never compare yourself to players who are older then you. They usually have more experience, so it is not a fair match. Just encouraging here, buddy.

[@MrKman81]

age has nothing to do with it !

[@turbotubesteak]

I WANT TO SEE THAT FIDDLE PLAYER'S G-STRING
