I didn't know Redneck Jazz is a genre.

Here is my vote for the best Redneck Jazz:

Route Irish

Well, if it wasn't, it is now. 

 

That bloke with the Dobro is really good.

Do you mean Jerry Douglass? He’s the GOAT of Dobro.

At the (further) risk of overposting (again), here is some Redneck Jazz that just touches my heart . . .

No, that would be the sub-genre Redneck Hippie Jazz  

 

 

PS: A Banjo through effects pedals and a Fender Twin is an interesting concept. I wonder what he uses as a pickup?

@docc the bass player has a smaller scale bass; probably because he has small hands...

I find myself hoping that they are really having fun, and not fulfilling the ego of a parent or something.

Expensive gear, most likely a multi-track recording for the video and post production

Someone is behind them and supporting them, so I hope it is because the kids are really into it all off their own bat.

I attempted to carry forward my love of guitar playing to my son... I initially bought him a smaller scaled guitar, so he could start developing his chops. Paid for guitar tutor too, because according to him, I was too strict. All that amounted to nothing, because as you clearly pointed out, this was me wanting him to learn to play guitar.

I gave the guitar away to Goodwill, hoping that someone will make a better use of it.

All the successful guitar players that have spoken about their humble beginnings wanted to learn.

But you need to accept that sometimes, when you are a kid, you don't really know what you want. Michael Jackson would not have been Michael Jackson if his father had not imposed an army like discipline on his kids.

Same for the Williams sisters... the will of their parents made them.

Sometimes, you only need to provide the means, instigate the discovery, and the momentum keeps by itself. Also, if your family is into music, you have a better chance to succeed in it too. Look at Lalo Schifrin, Ennio Morricone... both had fathers that were into music. Prince too... father was a Jazz musician, mother a jazz singer...

I fell in love with guitar playing after seeing Jimi Hendrix live at the Olympia. He was opening for Johnny Halliday. I was young, and my mother was horrified to see Jimi's playing antics on stage! she bought me a trumpet and I could only get to learn guitar when I did not have the time any longer. Fact is, my parents never were into music.
