I didn't know Redneck Jazz is a genre.

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 . . .

And was "Pink Floyd" the original Redneck Jazz . . .

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.

Isn't that genius? 5/4 time signature...

Since you mentioned it, unavoidable...

and while we're at it, not a constant time signature but rather alternating 3/4 and 4/4

And as far as Genius goes, one of my all time favourites. Straight tempo, but only 5 musical elements, about 15 minutes long, and it doesn't get boring. The snare drum part has to be one of the hardest parts in the entire classical music literature.

 

PS: getting back to Brubeck and "Take five", my measure of a drum solo is whether I can count through it. Try that with that video, i.e. start counting a bit before the drum solo, and see if you are on the dot when the piano starts up again. I was, which means the drummer isn't just doing acrobatics, he has the tempo in his head all the way through.

But getting back to the vitally important Genre of Redneck Jazz, there is this to be taken into consideration, of course:

And if that doesn't work, here is the search result page on the Tube. Everyone here should be able to find one in there that plays, I reckon. Maybe...

And having said that, there must be this, even if it doesn't have all that much to do with Jazz. The Redneck bit can be debated at will.

It's amazing how a bunch of old farts, the singer definitely drug-farked, can still deliver.

And then this popped up. Don't know why.
