Orange Blossom Special - Champion fiddle player Danny Boy

[@d1jal]

HE PLAYED IT LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!!!

[@lucysandifer8874]

I don't know what's going on with that bow hold, buts certainly working for him!

[@emmanuelpellaton487]

Lucy Sandifer Extra ! and the violin seems so small as well, whaou... lol !

[@rogerrodriguez3832]

I bet this guy would beat the devil.

[@birdmn9930]

Good ol' Johnny!

[@bananadictator3032]

He is the devil

[@MangoDaVille]

Great sawin Danny - very unique lick substitutions in place of the conventional licks. 5 stars. All acoustic too. Johnny Pal of MangoDaville

[@varshapatel5543]

What a wrist action no one plays like that fuckin class

[@BTLemming]

YES! This is the way my uncle always played it!

[@dylanlangston6668]

pure beauty 😍 thank you God for making this possible

[@dylanlangston6668]

Bae

[@varshapatel5543]

Dylan Langston there is no god sorry

[@dmarchesiello]

I am from Kentucky and grow up with family fiddle palying. This old boy not to bad.

[@jaredbarnes7181]

The faster he gets the better he gets!! Good stuff!

[@Pickinbuddy]

GO Danny!! Fabulous job!

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Nice playing - love the rubber wrists and ceramic hat!

[@mcfrdmn]

Fantastic musical performance !

[@mcfrdmn]

Fantastic musical performance !

[@Ganthor1]

I'm not "in" to this music but this guy has talent!!!

[@EnigPartyhaus]

He played that like A DAMN FIDDLE

[@Pickinbuddy]

Man, you're right--that is the most incredible right hand and wrist 'form' I ever saw! That is also one of the hardest parts to master in fiddle playing.

[@chrispidicello]

How does he make the steam whistle sound??! So good!!

[@zeldaetmario]

fiddle always amusing! but what is this sound at 3.20 ? he did it with his fiddle ? damned amusing !

[@philochristos]

That was pretty good.

[@charlesduguid4811]

Wow !! this guy is master class!!

[@mesa920]

i saw this guy play at rockin' r ranch when i was a little kid back in 1992

[@mcfrdmn]

Excellent performance

[@nadiababchouk]

Awesome

[@TheStanleyDD]

That's probably why it sounds great!

[@jaredbarnes7181]

I know they had to be stressing my guy out with that last speed 😂😭

[@angelicacapone9211]

love it !!

[@karpdiem2]

He looks like he's ridin' a horse!!!! LOL

[@Kipster048]

While I like most every version, I think the best ever is titled: Steep Canyon Rangers - Orange Blossom Special - Museum of Appalachia Homecoming 2011 Nicky Sanders WAS classically trained and really gets into it.

[@Chefodeath]

You know, people keep commenting on the wrist, but I think that movement is made both possible and neccesary from the specific way he's gripping the bow like that.

[@shilzna]

wow!!! his wrist is sooooooo smooth!!

[@djspike1991]

dude i would love to see him duel Charlie daniels in his prime, that would be sick!!!

[@nadiababchouk]

Thanks Man

[@doughesson]

Orange Blossom Special and Duellin' Banjos are two songs not allowed at any well run bluegrass contest.Both are such crowd favorites that they can never get a consensus on which version was best.

[@doctorarb]

I've been there!

[@higgme1ster]

This it worlds apart from that version Festival on another channel with Steve Martin at the Jazz Festival. The song is supposed to sound like a train. That's what the Orange Blossom Special is.

[@Telelikeitis]

All we need here is a drummer and we would have a pretty good band.

[@flyinghakusai]

@Chefodeath a lot of professionals grip their bow kinda like that but don't necessarily bend their wrist that much, it must just be his unique playing style

[@mzlan3179]

WHOOOOOO ,ROCK THAT THANG!!!

[@karpdiem2]

I was just lookin' @ his bow arm. Looks like he's riding a horse! LOL Great bow arm.

[@knickkilla]

"say faster" LOL

[@lynnmorris7620]

Awesome.whoever says it isn't is a wee bit jealous I would say Answer to one commnt he can play lots of instruments as well.Nice guy to know.

[@i8bugs1]

That is some amazing bow technique. does this guy even HAVE bones in his wrist????

[@ARATOBROTHERSBANDOfficial]

Great! :)

[@aiyaemotionaldamage5544]

original sound I like it!

[@lenwilson1095]

Good wrist action.

[@pinkumiilku]

Fiddle CHAMPION

[@Kilhamjim]

@GeekBoy03 Does Charlie Daniels play fiddle??

[@jilly4785]

@tsquiers so what, there is some improv allowed in fiddle playing - there are so many different versions of the SAME fiddle tune, and who is to say which one is correct?

[@gerardovesgacaballero5037]

Super

[@Damienroymusique]

good

[@viking1960]

I wish I could play like that. I can't even play Chopsticks on the piano.

[@kikiup87]

stop with the hatter comments. he is actually really good, i have heard quite a bit of fiddle music, and its not easy to think up a good OBS. i can say that knowing because i am a fiddle player too.

[@spitfirepam]

this guy is really good! Only when you can do it better do you have room to criticize, and I doubt there are too many who can!

[@therev79]

Its like he is paint with his bow

[@ashandblake]

that dude's wrist is sick :)

[@milmech4376]

i cant take this seriously while watching his bow arm

[@noelmacedo3577]

muito bom mesmo

[@Kendrakefull]

yeah, he bends his wrist a lot, that means he doesnt have bones in them.

[@bogdadountyhunter]

Country sisters do the best version of this tune. Check em out and tell me if I'm wrong. :)

[@thatkoreanguy369]

Dudes wrist is multi dimentional

[@GeekBoy03]

@Kilhamjim You are joking right? Try putting that name in that search bar above.

[@POsomething]

We don't all need to be trained classically, because it's only for perfectionists. I took up fiddle after guitar and it doesn't feel impossible for me..

[@bist0021]

You've got to be kidding me.

[@TheGuitargod175]

isnt this supposed to be the hardest fiddle song ever? if so... i wanna learn it

[@ponetastic]

if you think this movie is good already, try it on bubble hash!!

[@ImperiousMagnus]

its like super mario song

[@MrJustinreese]

@ponetastic HA HA HA, Yeah that makes it better

[@andreroy9978]

What is his name the fiddle player

[@deputyzombie8736]

That bow hold looks painful

[@joshbouwkamp5109]

God bless murrica !!

[@DA_man82]

he appears to have a lot tension built up in his neck, jaw, shoulders, and upper back. highly doubtful he is classically trained. notice with the bow girp. he never puts his pinky down on the stick and he has a chicken wing for his bow arm. the "chinrest" is not a chin rest, but a jaw rest. props on the flexible wrist.

[@txslowpoke]

Charlie Daniels plays the hell out of the fiddle!

[@lakekerr1]

This guy plays differant than any one I have ever seen does he play anything else

[@Rich102252]

He als mastered the Mandolin

[@flyinghakusai]

@i8bugs1 lolz I was thinking the exact same thing

[@tomandbengaming]

hello

[@EblockShorty]

@tsquiers Glad somebody else noticed! Ad libbing is required but first you gotta play the tune, fer chrissakes! And your ad libs have to be musically coherent and add something to the performance. I guess this guy is champion of not playing the tune and sometimes going pretty fast. There are hundreds of clips of this and many of them leave this in the dust for speed and musicality; some of the youngsters just leave me with my mouth hanging open.

[@karpdiem2]

Different strokes for different folks. I've seen some classically trained players do it "all wrong" -

[@Ravenshadow78]

@skitzo429 nope

[@gramsky]

i can do that... but i don't want to

[@procarpenter1788]

That arm wrist movement thing is the weirdest combo I've ever seen. So much unnecessary movement, like each joint is counteracting another. Seems to work for him though, he plays very very well!

[@RunninRiver]

If he had a better backup band this would be a great performance but the guitar and drums were off beta and there was no bass

[@agripino85]

@COSMICBUM So what?

[@1960taylor]

Leahy would crush this guy

[@Ravenshadow78]

@skitzo429 i bet your like that with everything you say.

[@OSOFLYish]

This okay, it's okay~ Clint Dutiaume is the Best after the original though in my book, No Offence, but truely..

[@karpdiem2]

Faster ain't necesarily better kiddo. Sometimes you can kill a tune with speed........

[@karpdiem2]

Jeeeeez - that is the LOOSEST wrist I've ever seen! LOL Looks like it's double jointed!!! Guy plays with a western swing twang sound to his bowing.....nice

[@bplayer47]

I think the drummer got a little lost? they were all over the place. Too bad cause the fiddle player is good

[@104trucker]

And he is slow, roy clark is the best one ive ever seen

[@snoboi92]

this aint not violinist. this is a fiddler

[@Ravenshadow78]

@slviolinist why are you coming on here with all this shit; there is no need for a synopsis of his technique, and who cares if he's classically trained or not he can play a mean fiddle.

[@wasabihansen]

not bad, but honestly, jimmy bryant's version was faster

[@POsomething]

I'm glad for not being classically trained.

[@RunninRiver]

He’s a good fiddle player but he had a bad backup band

[@chrislegit3198]

Someone needs to practice!!! 😬

[@bluegrasslives]

Orange blossom special, by chubby wise is the correct version !!!! all the other,s are not right!!!! bluegrass fiddler wannabe,s!!!!!!!!

[@Bastard471]

what can you say? what you want not what i want. why would i be there doing that if it was about beiing white snake? listen to what i say and think about why i say it. if i wanted you life without the redretard herpe stragefright cant do its id have it in a month. what do i want and why sould i want it?

[@mmdmikey]

Great music but his arm and wrist look weird...

[@karpdiem2]

Jeeeeez - that is the LOOSEST wrist I've ever seen! LOL Looks like it's double jointed!!!

[@gremlinuk1968]

Not good,,, / cause,, / why , he not more on YOUETUBE,?,, canbt find him any, more ,on you tube,?!!

[@ragtimeannie33]

he must have been the only one iin the contest.i have seen lots better rhan that
