@@willainapyle296 i cant wait to see him. My uncle met billy a few times and said he wanted to introduce me to him and its been awesome ever since billy is a real artist.
I’m 52 years old, my mom met Elvis and got his autograph. I love music, I got that from my mom, who showed me all the greats. IN MY 52 years on this Earth I have never seen anyone as gifted As Billy! Truly a gift to all of us! ❤️🇨🇦
I'm 64 yrs old, this kid and those from his generation like him are all we have left. God bless them with the discernment to move forward. The Politicians may have "dug this hole", but we gave them the shovel. RPG.🚯☢
It is heartwarming to hear to hear the songs I grew up with played today by such a talented soulful young man. My dad, who is 73, advised me to check out Billy Strings. I had my 1 yo granddaughter over, I went to take a shower and came downstairs afterwards to see great granddad and the baby dancing around the living room listening to Billy Strings. How awesome is that!?!?! Great Grandpa introducing her to the music that HE grew up with and her laughing and loving it! I wish I could post the video. It is precious!
Billy really brings the music to life. With so much crap going on in the wold today, his music simply connects and brings a little joy. Does not get any better than that.
Billy fuckin strings bringing the classics home!! Your my reason to pick up guitar and play again so thank you for your great work and heavenly finger picking keep belting out true music with passion brother!
Billy Strings I don't know What to say, Got introduced to your music by my old man and you take me to a place no music has taken me befor Thank you for all you do Much love from Australia mate Really hope to one day watch you live
If Billy would have released this around the same time as rich men north of Richmond and try that in a small town with the political climate the way it is this song still wouldn’t get the recognition it deserves
One of my favorite Billy tunes!!! Fantastic song writing!!! Hats off to you Billy!! Excellent job!! You've got me wanting to play my guitar more than I have been!!! I have a song that I wish I could somehow get to you, to see you do yer magic with it!!
He is a gifted lyricist for sure. Profound yet simply stated. Brilliant. Yet his playing ... man. He is a stellar talent. Only discovered him a few months ago. Glad I did.
Watch it fall reminds me of my childhood to adulthood how I wish I could go back in time and relive my childhood. The world was safe to play in the streets. God bless you Billy Strings
Roll over Bob Dylan. Billy, you amaze me. I've heard & played a lot of music in 65 years; you are the future, now! Listening to you is inspiring but humbling. I can't wait to hear more.
@@farmalltractor he hardly puts Tony to shame. I get you’re probably young but there’s tons of badass guitar players. Billy is a very similar player to doc Watson but I don’t think he’s got that Chet Atkins thumb thing going yet. So many good players, it’s not a competition. Don’t get me wrong love me some billy strings too
My God! Just My God!!! This can be used by mid level acoustic guitarists to advance their game. Just watch and learn it one step at a time and once you get it you've moved your guitar game up big time. but aside from the lesson potential this is an incredible solo performance of a song written by Strings about the state of our times, how jobs have gone away and infrastructure is crumbling and the playing is so fluid from verse to solo sections in a way that is lacking even in a time where everyone and their mother is playing something on an acoustic guitar on YT these days! People are banging all over them, they're doing all sorts of beautiful fancy technical licks but more often than not it falls empty on me anyway. THIS is soulful and beautiful AND technically slick as hell, and I don't miss the knocking and pounding all over the guitar.
Anyone else shocked the right hasn’t attacked him yet? I’m not. Doesn’t matter who you are, you have no choice but to listen and respect Billy and his massive amount of talent. Keep it up Billy. Michigan is so proud of their son.
@@seanmullen3113 well just listen to his words. He talks about gun violence and climate change and clearly isn’t siding with the right on either issue.
@mmehrhof yea he also talks about cocaine liquor and meth lol. He’s a kid making kick ass music . I think people can and do look past his personal opinion on certain things and just enjoy the tunes
This is a dumb comment, and I’m non partisan. Thinking like this is toxic, don’t try to insert politics where it doesn’t belong. You’ll be much happier
Billy's writing reminds me of John Prine. You can listen to his songs every day and find more meaning to the words every time. He is more talented than he knows and we are blessed that he is sharing his love of music with us. I truly love this guy.
Keep making us Mitten heads proud Billy. Great tune, great words and the new video...AMAZING! But there’s nothing like a man (woman) and an acoustic guitar.
It's him, but it's not just him. We have Molly and Sierra too, and other great young players carrying the bluegrass torch forward into the future, without forgetting or dismissing the past. They're integrating classic rock, jam band music, punk, and modern sounds, and making it all part of the great continuum of bluegrass. It's an incredibly exciting era for the genre! But yeah, Billy. He's not just a great player, he's an important player. I hear him and I think of Tony Rice, Jerry Garcia, Clarence White, but especially Doc Watson. He has that integration as a player, that way of using the guitar to express so perfectly where he fits in our great American musical tradition.
Being a picker going on 30 years and an avid music fan of almost all styles of music, I have absolutely zero qualms about this piece of truth you through out…
Loved it! Just having some fun with this comment! Here goes: Hot Dog Ole Mighty, that's what I'm talkin' bout! Dat's some goooood Pickin' and A'Singin' there Brother! Great Songs and Awesome Playin' ! (Enjoying some Awesome Music - Reminds me of a scene on "O Brother Where Art Thou" where the blind WEZY DJ, is recording "Man of Constant Sorrow" by The Soggy Bottom Boys!)
"Well the old men say the great big apple's rotten to the core....wall street's stealing from the till while no one minds the store" Pay attention folks we have a Woody Guthrie for our time. PS...Yes M!ch!gan the feeling is forever.
Fifty years from now people will say Billy Strings was the voice of the twentys.
I could live with that
We should hope so
There's days that my life becomes very significant after my Billy Strings concert from 7 am-8:30 EACH MORNING RAIN SNOW OR SHINE! THANKS BILLY!
Years? More like days.
@@willainapyle296 i cant wait to see him. My uncle met billy a few times and said he wanted to introduce me to him and its been awesome ever since billy is a real artist.
Billy is a treasure. I pray he is getting joy from the mastery of the fretboard. Keep writing, picking, singing, and posting, please.
I’m 52 years old, my mom met Elvis and got his autograph. I love music, I got that from my mom, who showed me all the greats.
IN MY 52 years on this Earth I have never seen anyone as gifted As Billy!
Truly a gift to all of us!
❤️🇨🇦
Don't say that around Ricky or Vince or Tommy E. or Dan T.
I agree.
Was just about to say... you should listen to Tommy Emanuel or Marcus King.
hooked on Billy
Jerry Garcia?
Billy's songs will resonate for generations. Songs with actual meaning behind amazing instrumentation.

Watch it fall, a work of art that will stand the test on time
I'm a better person for having found his music. Ty for being a part of my healing. 💜🌈🌠
His music honoring greatfulDead
He is such a good music man
old souls are as rare as good guitar pickers
When you get both it is truly magic ✨✨
Billy really brings the music to life. With so much crap going on in the wold today, his music simply connects and brings a little joy. Does not get any better than that.
A poet and a master on anything with a string. We are insanely lucky to be alive and witnessing this young man.
Billy's musical gift is such a godsend for fans of bluegrass music who enjoy jambands also. This skill level doesn't come around often, so much soul!
I wish I knew billy growing up….he was only a few towns over
'Watch it Fall' is absolutely prophetic! Thank you Billy and Relix.
Billy fuckin strings bringing the classics home!! Your my reason to pick up guitar and play again so thank you for your great work and heavenly finger picking keep belting out true music with passion brother!
Amazing to get to be around when people like Billy are making musical history
You're music touches my soul more than any "newer" artist have heard in forever. Thank you.
I feel smarter just listening to this
Billy Strings I don't know What to say,
Got introduced to your music by my old man and you take me to a place no music has taken me befor
Thank you for all you do
Much love from Australia mate
Really hope to one day watch you live
Thank you Billy! Thanks you so freaking much!!!
If Billy would have released this around the same time as rich men north of Richmond and try that in a small town with the political climate the way it is this song still wouldn’t get the recognition it deserves
He is one of the best musicians of our time. He is the Bob Dylan of our generation.
I’ve watched this at least 100 times
Same!!
great session...Watch it Fall...feels very appropriate for these times
Billy, you got this magical art... Makes me keep watching you play all day and night hoping you never stop..... 😊😊 Hope to see you live someday...
Billy is my favorite musician! He is perfect
Billy was born to play the guitar. And he does.
One of my favorite Billy tunes!!! Fantastic song writing!!! Hats off to you Billy!! Excellent job!! You've got me wanting to play my guitar more than I have been!!! I have a song that I wish I could somehow get to you, to see you do yer magic with it!!
The lyrics of Watch It Fall are ridiculously good. Refreshing.
Makes me think of bob dylan ❤️🐐❤️
He is a gifted lyricist for sure. Profound yet simply stated. Brilliant. Yet his playing ... man. He is a stellar talent. Only discovered him a few months ago. Glad I did.

that smile at the end is so damn precious. I love you, Billy.
Such a great tune, Billy, thanks for sharing.
Gonna learn it and pass it on.
His guitar talent and vocals are amazing. His lyrics with so much conviction gives me chills. Thank you
Thanks for just everything!! Wishing you n yours HEALTH AND HAPPINESS!!!!
God this song is soooooo beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful.
Unreal. Can’t stop listening. Everything he plays is epic
It’s nice that he misses some notes so we think he’s human. Thanks Mr. Strings.
Idk how sad I am, I put on this video and I am smiling ear to ear, Billy Strings is the man!
⚡🐐 BMFS⚡
I don’t even know what to say. Words don’t do justice as to how good this is.
Love this song Billy, probably my favorite of yours so far.
I can’t stress how much I love this song and need tabs! 😩😩😩
Check on CZcams, lessons with Marcel

I'll listen to these songs 100x just like I do your other songs! Lol, good stuff man!
Sweetest guitar since Tony Rice.. thank you young man.. you are phenomenal!!
He puts Tony to shame, and I love Tony but damn....

@@Orfix33 you dont know me or how old I am??? your thoughts are your own..let me have mine.
@@farmalltractor wasn’t trying to offend you man. Rock on
@@Orfix33 some double rhythm stuff. may not be the way chet did it but you get the idea
Best song 🙏
Will be seeing Billy and the boys next February. Cannot wait!
Living legend
Best 8.4 minutes i had in a long time. tks Billy! keep on keeping on you got the magic.
To think I got here from dust in a baggie so glad I stumbled on that song

He played this in Cary NC on the day Roe was overturned. 6/24/22
you have such a smooth sound, and love your picking... im a fan..
Watch is Fall is such a great song.
Parabéns pelo trabalho!! Desde que descobri o Billy Strings, minha vida tornou-se mais feliz!!! Saudações do Brasil!
Eles com um sucessor do Dylan e nós com Luan Santana...
Thank You, Mr. Strings!
That was so good I'm at a loss for words...
Anyone else shocked the right hasn’t attacked him yet? I’m not. Doesn’t matter who you are, you have no choice but to listen and respect Billy and his massive amount of talent. Keep it up Billy. Michigan is so proud of their son.
Why would the right attack him?

Man I wish I could play 1% as good as this. The first song is stunning.
Amazing guitar.
Amazing vocals.
Billy honoring the dead is awesome!
just awesome
Holy shit buddy this Is off the chart
I can't wait to see what Billy comes up with when he's in his 40s and 50s
I hear ya. 30s as well!
Awesome 👍
I love you and ive missed you.
I keep coming back to this video and watching it and wanting to like it again so I just unlike it then like it again lol
Yep i'm back again
Gooooo Billy!! ❤️⚡️💙
Delightful. Thanks so much
quite possibly the best Dire Wolf cover I've ever heard
All those lsd dealers getting busted
For sure
I am waiting patiently for Mr. Strings and Mr. King to come visit the Lone Star State.
Amen, brother! Keep the faith!
the voice of now for me
Keep making us Mitten heads proud Billy. Great tune, great words and the new video...AMAZING! But there’s nothing like a man (woman) and an acoustic guitar.
Oh sweet baby Jesus. We love you Billy!
Omg chills! Love you Billy 💋 BMFS 💋🐐💋
*I love him too **#BMFS*
Dang!
This feels like heresy almost: he is right there with Doc Watson and Norman Blake. There. I said it, and I mean it.
It's him, but it's not just him. We have Molly and Sierra too, and other great young players carrying the bluegrass torch forward into the future, without forgetting or dismissing the past. They're integrating classic rock, jam band music, punk, and modern sounds, and making it all part of the great continuum of bluegrass. It's an incredibly exciting era for the genre!
But yeah, Billy. He's not just a great player, he's an important player. I hear him and I think of Tony Rice, Jerry Garcia, Clarence White, but especially Doc Watson.
