SOCIAL CLUB oh piss off. thousands of guitar players can play what he plays. Just like thousands can play eruption. Just like thousands can play most anything. Of any difficulty. And what he is playing is not THAT difficult. I never said it was easy. And no, I don’t like this style music much so I don’t care to learn it anyhow.
I just recently found Billy's music. I've never been much of a fan for country, but I am a fan great musicians and Billy is amazing. His voice is beautiful and his mastery of the guitar is brilliant.
It will always exist thank God. I am 40 and I love blues and old country because of my buddy Bob who is 70. I wish all the time we were pals the same age so we could know each other longer.
Every once in awhile the real deal comes around. Not often maybe once a decade if that honestly. This dude is the real deal and what a gift to get to watch the development of the whole career in front of your eyes. Fabulous
People always argue Martin...Gibson....Taylor... There is nothing on this earth that will make me change my mind. Martin makes by far the greatest acoustic instruments on earth. It rooms YEARS of saving extra change. But I finally own one too.
Billy primarily seems to play a Preston Thompson though. You could have gotten one for $8500, but they only made 33. His lucky number. pktguitars.com/acoustic-guitars/portfolios/billy-strings-signature-model-limited-edition/
I got to see Billy live in Dallas last week, I’m not even a big bluegrass listener but let me tell you it was the best show I’ve ever been to in my life. He tore the place down. It was amazing to see in person if you ever get the chance to catch a show you need to go. A frickin blast
My granpappy had one as well. he had to stash it in his ass when he was captured by Gerry in dubya dubya 2. three long years he kept that thing in his ass, until he eventually died of dysentery. one of his fiends keystered it for the next 6 months until the war ended, then he gave it to me.
@UC5Y-5lx600W1uHxujo83YMQ I did not make a personal attack on this man. Tired implies the genre is wore out and lacks anything fresh. Not a positive statement and my statement about “in your blood” simply means that many of us grew up with parents and grandparents who loved this music. It is in no way tired to us and a part of who we are. Calm your ass down with the name calling.
It's not just the articulate playing - listen to the perfect pitch of the voice and how he phrases nearly every syllable for effect. And the best part is NO BANJO!
He plays a mean claw hammer banjo as well, but I know what you mean. I'd go to see him just do the Carter Vintage stuff. That said, Billy Failing is a GREAT banjo player who plays with him.
I have 230 people view one of my songs. Witch I’m blessed to create something people have enjoyed musically. This guy has a million hits on this one. What a talent! Bravo
This guy is proof of reincarnation, as there is no way anybody could become such a master of a musical instrument in a single lifetime. With the possible exception of Tommy Emmanual and a very few others, this man is unique
How could I possibly love his singing even more than I love his playing. It’s true, I do. Do people even hear his singing? It’s from another time and place.
I am never disappointed by any of his covers. I think his cover of Doc Watson"s Cocaine Blues is the best I've ever heard. And his original material is some of the best to come around in a while. Can't wait to see him live. Be safe out there people!
Yes sir Billy you got a gift I gave it to you never going to lose me! I mean your belly God gave you a gift and you sure do use it you're great! I would die if I met you!
We are Witnessing one of the greats of our generation..
Its really not that difficult what he is doing....
@@dhoops616 But it's also Not Easy in the least. But let's say your Right. You still gotta have 'that feel' .. That's why he's Rare.
Chris C. Thats true! Very very true.
TheTalisman616 Could you please upload a video of yourself doing what he does ?
SOCIAL CLUB oh piss off. thousands of guitar players can play what he plays. Just like thousands can play eruption. Just like thousands can play most anything. Of any difficulty. And what he is playing is not THAT difficult. I never said it was easy. And no, I don’t like this style music much so I don’t care to learn it anyhow.
This guy's soul is a lot older than that guitar. Amazing.
Playing like that, I'm not sure he hasn't sold it to the devil.
Amen to that. You hit the nail on the head.
Well said
I just recently found Billy's music. I've never been much of a fan for country, but I am a fan great musicians and Billy is amazing. His voice is beautiful and his mastery of the guitar is brilliant.
@@tylergarrison8073yeah im sure He doesnt have any talent or didnt practise since 4yo.
The talent of this guy is absolutely out of this world.
According to a lot of people here it's easy and he's nothing special lol. Proving most people have zero idea what they are talking about
@@anthonybick9264Yep just sold out the Bridgestone center 2 nights on a row.Wonder what they were all doing that weekend
He's a keeper of the library of old bluegrass and country.
This is the best thing you've watched today.
no its not cause ive been watching billy strings all day haha
Just came from a Marcus King video...... overload.
czcams.com/video/iv0GAabPxZU/video.html
True that!!! So greatful to have found this picker.Mind blown!!!!I hope he lives 4ever and ever!!!!
SixThousand Blankets have you seen his and marcus's video of them playing summertime? it's a a great video too
@@koltonstephens Just did. It is great.
This is how I like listening to Billy Strings the best. Alone and acoustic
Another example of how the future of real music artistry is in great hands!
That's if society as a whole doesn't collapse.....
It will always exist thank God. I am 40 and I love blues and old country because of my buddy Bob who is 70. I wish all the time we were pals the same age so we could know each other longer.
Define “ real music artistry”.
@@hammill444
One definition would be the above video.
@@bodarville2510 Total cop out. Again explain what you mean by real music artistry.
Every once in awhile the real deal comes around. Not often maybe once a decade if that honestly. This dude is the real deal and what a gift to get to watch the development of the whole career in front of your eyes. Fabulous
He is saving and archiving a hole genre of music for a next 100 years. Legend!
People always argue Martin...Gibson....Taylor...
There is nothing on this earth that will make me change my mind. Martin makes by far the greatest acoustic instruments on earth.
It rooms YEARS of saving extra change. But I finally own one too.

Whew. That man can play and that voice is just golden.
Keeping bluegrass folk country and blues current. Billy Strings is freaking awesome!
I got to see Billy live in Dallas last week, I’m not even a big bluegrass listener but let me tell you it was the best show I’ve ever been to in my life. He tore the place down. It was amazing to see in person if you ever get the chance to catch a show you need to go. A frickin blast
My grandfather left me his 1956 D-21. I love that guitar for a multitude of reasons. Still by far the best sounding acoustic I've heard.
My granpappy had one as well. he had to stash it in his ass when he was captured by Gerry in dubya dubya 2. three long years he kept that thing in his ass, until he eventually died of dysentery. one of his fiends keystered it for the next 6 months until the war ended, then he gave it to me.
I guess you think you are being witty? Some have it, some don't...guess which one you are?
@@blackie75 this isn't a gold watch :p
@@blackie75 that must have been very uncomfortable.... jesus"
@@thetwoboyos8366 or a colossal bung hole.
That must be what it’s like to be “one with the instrument!” Beautiful to watch and hear!
this guy is good - he makes a tired genre come alive
It’s only tired if it’s not in your blood. This guy isn’t good. He’s great
@UC5Y-5lx600W1uHxujo83YMQ I did not make a personal attack on this man. Tired implies the genre is wore out and lacks anything fresh.

You are right - I’m not the right guy to judge the genre - I’m not a big country guy - but Billy made me want to listen....
Really brilliant great voice awesome tones
Fortuna vuole che ci siano ancora dei ragazzi a posto!!
I venture to say of all time. Especially Billy Strings as a band will be seen as one of the greatest bluegrass bands of all time.
What a beast! Every time this guy touches a guitar he never fails to amaze me.
He is the best of the best
It's not just the articulate playing - listen to the perfect pitch of the voice and how he phrases nearly every syllable for effect. And the best part is NO BANJO!
He almost made ot sound like their was one...didn't he though...
He plays a mean claw hammer banjo as well, but I know what you mean. I'd go to see him just do the Carter Vintage stuff. That said, Billy Failing is a GREAT banjo player who plays with him.
This man is going places for sure. Listen to that!!
I'm pretty sure this is Billy strings Google him goodness is fantastic iWatch guitar Boogie
It’s all been done before
he's peaked, destroyed his image, can play and sing like a very few before him but few will know of him
youtube algorithm put him up off a video from his buddie's channel from years ago lol
I'm a blues man. Billie strings allways make me forget why I love the blues. Hes amazing
Damn that is a thunderbox...and Billy rules the guitarworld.
Completely blown away!
He never ceases to amaze me.
Damn!!! That was just incredible.
He plays that guitar like the guitar lost a bet ...... Beautiful...
I have 230 people view one of my songs. Witch I’m blessed to create something people have enjoyed musically. This guy has a million hits on this one. What a talent! Bravo
The man's a monster. Goddamn
Love it
Nice. The real deal. I hope this guy doesn't stop. Really enjoying it.
Love Billy's playing
That guitar has a beautiful voice. And so do you, Billy. Very sweet.
This guy is proof of reincarnation, as there is no way anybody could become such a master of a musical instrument in a single lifetime. With the possible exception of Tommy Emmanual and a very few others, this man is unique
I gotta throw in SRV and Hendrix
Billy is an amazing guitar player, singer and performer
We are witnessing one of the Greats of several generations to come!!!!
I love the sound of these well played vintage Martin’s. They are a terrible addiction for me.
It's like having a first chair violinist with a strad....you get to see what it really can do when in the hands of a master.
Great song. Great playing. I wish I could play like that.
All it takes is dedication. Practice practice practice
How could I possibly love his singing even more than I love his playing. It’s true, I do. Do people even hear his singing? It’s from another time and place.
Yeah Billy kind of has allot going on. Amazing talent.
Agree. I almost won't listen to one of his instrumentals because somehow the song isn't complete without his amazing voice. He is truly phenomenal.
The great Billy Strings!
Killed it. I could listen to this all day. Make an album music like this.
This guy is so talented!
Absolute top of the game, musician and guitar !
Great sales technique ! Great player !
Just one word needed ...... Amazing
please let this never end ... his voice ...that guitar tone .
I am never disappointed by any of his covers.
I think his cover of Doc Watson"s Cocaine Blues is the best I've ever heard.
And his original material is some of the best to come around in a while.
Can't wait to see him live.
Be safe out there people!
Beautiful guitar. Beautiful mind. Beautiful musician. You're wonderful!
The soul of Doc Watson lives on in this young man...brilliant technician!
Absolute wonderful , good ol lost John woulda love it . Your great at what you do . Your a legend like lost John 👍
Rip Stobie, Stobe the hobo.
