holy shit.. a how to video where I actually have all the supplies I need

The Bob Ross of spoon playing

This is one of the most American things i've seen in a while.

Everyone who disliked this video had their spoons touching

*Guess who's playing spoon alone at 2 am.*

This is one of those "how hard can it be" then "oh" things. This guy is an excellent instructor.

On the first date in a restaurant Girl: I like music Me sitting next to her grabbing two spoons: 14:11

"What kind of instrument do you play?" Me: It's complicated.

Speak the rhythm on your own..... Speak the rhythm all alone.... Spoonman

KZfaq: Go watch this random video. David: Go grab a set of spoons. It is now 30 minutes later and I'm still sitting here playing spoons . . . . with a huge grin on my face.

This guy knows how to teach. I felt like he was personally instructing me through this video. Posted this comment at 9:25 *checks for hidden cameras*

Parents: *Sells my drum set. Me: Aight Imma be a spooner...

I should be sleeping but here I am watching some southern lad teach me how to play the spoons

I'm supposed to study medicinal chemistry and I'm watching how to play spoons.. what the hells am I doing.

I am British, I am in 2019 and I am learning to play the spoons from THIS AMAZING SOUTHERN MAN

i am currently quarantine and it is 3 am. i have convinced myself that i will master this skill by the time the world returns. YOU WILL HEAR FROM ME

As a Russian i find this fascinating. Wa play wooden spoons at elementary school orchestras.

Yoo I swear this guy came to my elementary school as a guest speaker when I was a kid as and he chose me for a demonstration

I am so glad this randomly showed up in my recommendations. I have been happily playing spoons for like an hour 😄

It looked magical, then he slows it down, explains it, makes it understandable, almost appearing easy, by watching, then he starts playing, and it becomes magical, again. Genius. Bravo.

Me: should be studying Me tomorrow: I don’t know how to calculate standard deviation but I’m a spoons wizard.

I just watched a 14 minute video showing how to play spoons. And I don't regret it

Why am I here? I dont even ha- Wait

David Holt is an American folk treasure!

Got held up at customs about my spoons in my bag when I was in Ireland. I said I play, and this Irish fellow brought out two spoons and said me too! And two other guys joined in and were like “I have a banjo out back and he has a harmonica, you wanna play?” And that’s my bucking story with border security in Ireland.

I'm 33 and was privileged to meet David Holt when I was in elementary school. He came and played for us and also told us stories. I will never forget that.

(In a job interview) Interviewer: so what kind of skills do you have. Me: pulls out a set of spoon.

i cant wait to bust out a face melting spoon solo this thanksgiving

My wife caught me trying out spoons and yelled : When are you going to grow up ? I laughed my ass off the chair ^^

Man, he explains so well! And it Djents too!

me: haha these are stupid him: does a spoon roll me: WOAH WTF U HAVE MY ATTENTION

Don’t know why this is my recommended but it’s gold

I love playing the spoons, I was taught by a fellow waitress while I was waitressing in Halpins in Cork. Once I was searched at the airport and they asked me what the two silver soup spoons were doing in my handbag. I replied 'they're for percussion' and the security guy said 'prove it'.. and so I played a spoon solo at customs.

I have been a percussionist for decades, and and have never tried playing the spoons. Now I will. Rock'n vid. Thanks.

10years later and this is in my recommendations lol thanks KZfaq was a great 14 minutes reminded me of going to festivals with my late grandfather and watching him jigging on the dance floor while the band played the red River jig and the spoons and fiddle going together so well, this video brought back lost of nostalgic memories thanks

Dentist: "So, how did you chip your tooth?" Me: 14:08

Ah yes, another thing I've learned to annoy my co workers.

Her: "So do you play any instruments?" Me:

Sad to find out he had passed away. My grandson and I are learning to play dance things together and David's instructions have been very helpful

Mr. Holt, thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Works perfect to distract you from your break up

The day after I learned how to become a musician, “How the hell did I get a bruised and welted thigh?!”

at 6:50 when the harmonica comes in... this man is a wizard

I'm a small Hispanic woman who's about to learn to play the spoons at 2 am Edit: I WENT TO GET SOME SPOONS AND LET ME TELL YA. THIS IS INCREDIBLE Edit 2: my fiance apparently can sleep through anything. Edit 3: my my dog, is not a happy pupper.

With these you can play The dark side of the spoon

Me: Got nothing to do. KZfaq´s Algorythm: Hey,wanna see a 8 Year Old "How to play the Spoons" Video?

Memories of my uncle Jack playing the spoons 59 yrs ago absolutely memorable & unforgettable thank you heaps !!! Jack Holt, will continue watching & have decided to learn how to play the spoons 👍 👏

And I've fallen down the KZfaq rabbit hole again...

As a professional chef who has experienced much high-level fine dining, spoons have been my most important tools for the past many years. I think the spoon you highlighted as a poor choice for playing was from the same Oneida set that I own and love for cooking. I never pursued music despite it being deeply entrenched in my soul, and I've tried to learn spoons before but this video was amazingly informative and for the first time I now understand the basics of spoonery.

Not only did I enjoy your content, but also enjoyed watching you teach; you have a gift for that.

I didn't know Will Ferrel played the banjo so well.

You’re a very good teacher, my man. I’m sure there’s a lot of history in connection with these utensils. It’s important to preserve it!

The 'Spoon' tutorial that I was looking for. I always like to learn to play the spoon's the right way . now i know . Thank you. now you need to teach the Harmonica. Great video.

now i know how to play the spoons. this will come in handy.

This pops on my KZfaq like once a year....and I have to give it a try all over again every time.

Great calming way of teaching

That was real cool. I'm by no means from a geographical area that would have me listening or eager to learn how to play the spoons. I'm from Brooklyn Ny. However, I had an uncle Abe who played the spoons once in awhile, when we visited my mother sister Lorraine. I used to look forward to our visits, just to watch him perform. That was 40 years ago, yet it has still stuck with me. Today I had a few relatives over and we had our young children sitting around us while we listened to some folk Christmas music. There's no particular reason why a folk song was playing... just by chance. Anyway- I was feeling goofy so I grabbed two spoons joking around, and I began to play them. Having no clue how to do it, Tommy Ken amazement, I was killing it. I must have watched closely and picked it up. So funny. Anyway, that inspired me to look to see if I was indeed doing it correctly. Sure enough, I was. I think I may practice a little and surprise everyone for my Christmas Eve family party. Merry Christmas Everyone- and a very happy and healthy new year as well. Tom.

I must say this is definitely one of the most enjoyable tutorials I've ever seen!

A really good teacher. Straight forward. No extra info that you dont need.

It's 4am and I just learned how to play the spoons...fml

interviewer: why should we hire you? me: 14:06

I’m supposed to be asleep, how did I even get here? It’s 12 am and I just watched a video on how to play the spoons and I don’t regret it

It made me so happy when I heard him play Freight Train on the guitar!

This wasn't the 'Spoon' tutorial that I was looking for...

My grandma taught me how to play the spoons when I was about 10. She's a wild spirit :)

grew with this in the house represent Appalachia

I don't know how I ended up here, but what I know now is playing the spoons

Nice to see you paying attention to this part of our culture without having to read music

I spent 14 minutes of my life watching technique on the spoons..

This is beautiful. Culture, love, freedom family and most importantly God. This is American!

This helped my OCD constant picking holes into my scalp and pulling out my hair. No fidget toy helped but then I remembered my grandpapi played spoons and I remembered liking it. Found this video and learned quickly. Now I focus all that energy and anxiety on popping off rhythm after rhythm! Thank you!

So Im a guitarplayer and I somehow ended up here and im not disappointed.

This man needs to teach every instrument.. it’s so easy to understand

Excellent teacher!!! Found this when looking up Abby the spoon lady. She's excellent, not sure she teaches it as well as this guy, but she sure can play them spoons. Man when he plays them spoons and mouth harp, that sounded bomb. He's got rhythm. He from down south? Not that us northerners not have rhythm. I'm from the purple city, we got rhythm. 💜💜💜

google in my search history: what is spooning? google again: This video.

Thank you for sharing. You are a very good teacher. My granddaughter and I are going to practice practice. Really enjoyed your video.

This is definitely going on my "bucket list". Thank you, David. You put a smile on my face!

This man was a wonderful teacher, I got it almost immediately and wasn't hung up on confusing instructions.

10 years have passed. I think the world is ready for a jazz cover.

Nobody: Not a single soul: My cow: KZfaq recommended: Here's how you play the spoons

"once you get that, everything else is gravy" well, good thing i have two spoons handy LOL XD

Thank you, David, from the bottom of my heart!!!

David Holt is a wonderful rhythm Instructor. I need to listen to his talk.

[spoons rattling]

I am playing percussion in a stage version of Mary Poppins and one of the songs calls for spoons. This video helped a lot. You are a good teacher. Thanks.

I’ve never felt so appreciated in my life

Wow!! You are a great teacher. Rock on!! Thank you

Wow..that was great!! I'm a drummer and now I can play spoons to whenever I feel the need to bring out my Okie roots. Thanks David!

I love this guy!! Very talented. Very calm.

The way he flexes at the end crushed my spirit.

Friend: Hey, do you play any instrument? Me: Yeah Friend: What instrument? Also me: *「The S P O O N S」*

12 AM: One more video 2 AM:

Protip: Don't try this when eating cereal.

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you David for a very clear description of how to play. You're a born teacher as well as a great musician!

Wow! I got here because of the Spoon Lady, who I thought was just an exotic person. Then I learn that spoons are actually instruments that are used by some musicians. Then you mention "play bones" and a quick search in KZfaq introduces me to A Graham Hargrove and a new music world! I´m delighted at all the diversity that there exists in the world! Thanks for this video.

Nobody : KZfaq : Hey dude wanna learn how to play the Spoons ? Me: Hell yeah !!!!!

Really cool,teacher!!! I do not understand haters,but haters will always be sadly.THUMBS UP for sure,from me! It really helped me to learn!

I love it. Thank You, from an old drummer in Mobile, Alabama

My God, I was completely glued to the screen. Definitely going to try this 😂

I wish this guy would teach me everything!
