The dexterity in the fingers of your left hand are out of this world!!!

[@aisaku973]

Percussion, Rhythm, Melody, all harmonized with no words on a piece of wood with strings. This performance is fucking jaw dropping, anyone who watches it can see that. If they don't then they don't know how to fly, this woman does. Not one single downvote is justified and they are all just jealous. "Bra" fucking VO. The globe should be giving you a standing ovation!!

[@pavelshemyakin9054]

I low-key hate it when I read comments with people calling her "talented". I get that it's meant as a compliment, but it diminishes her work. She is not talented, she is SKILLED. Very skilled. Thousands of hours of hard work and dedication went into acquisition of this skill. Great job Josephine! Absolutely incredible!

[@tikvahspagepage8760]

If you say so. A talent is given by the creator. As is wisdom. Knowledge and understanding are for us to seek after. And his brother's name was Yuval: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and flute. BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 4:21 את CEPHER

[@olliewatts1354]

I couldn't agree more. After performing people always come up to me and say "you have such natural talent" and i don't think they realise how offensive it sounds to me😭. The amount of hours she must put into these arrangements is insane.

[@pattrum5142]

To reach her level Talent and Practice must go hand in hand to the roof.

[@olliewatts1354]

@@pattrum5142 this still annoys me, coz I feel like people don't appreciate the hard work untill they actually put it in themselves. Now you may be extremely good at guitar yourself but it still doesn't add up.
