@@Facetiously.Esoteric That's the number from his Grampa's race car he is in no way a clan member stop with the stupid shit.
@@Facetiously.Esoteric dude stop pretending you give a shit Mr Lovecraft Stan. Don't you have some animals to name racial slurs?
@@Facetiously.Esoteric you're the one in the comment section of a musician you don't even like, maulding about a guy that has raised money to fight racism and publicly supported anti racist groups claiming a number that could have any number of meanings to any number of people means he's in the klan. You make actual anti racists look like a fucking joke. Go be cringe somewhere else and stop hurting your own cause you fucking joke.
@@Facetiously.Esoteric all the black musicians I know hate people like you.
Billy’s playing has really inspired me to sell my guitar.
I hear that I can't even pick mine up after he plays!
🤣🤣🤣
💀
Never give up music is love to be shared and enjoyed.. stay safe 🍻
Lmao
In an era of uninspiring pop, country, metal, and rap music....this performance and these two maestros stand out as saviors of real music and quality artistry.
Thank you Billy and Molly !!
there are times in this 65 year olds life that you get to see and hear real music
If there is one person who can keep up to Billy Strings its Molly Tuttle
Not really 😂
Thats far from the truth
She is an exceptional guitar player from a technical point of view, and her cross picking is second to none.
She is also a bit cleaner than Billy in terms of raw flat picking, and I suspect her accuracy is a little sharper.
Billy gets right in your face with his energy and comes at you in an enjoyably aggressive style. He can probably play faster than Molly, but I also feel his longer solos tend to play out over a single chord.
I'd rather listen to Billy but if it came right down to it I would find it impossible to rank one over the other.
They're great guitar players and that's about it.
I could only dream about playing as good as any of them, but to say that out of everyone Molly is the only one that can keep up to Billy. thats just funny@@biggerissues6085
Molly is far more pure talented. She's not breaking any sweat over this little guitar wizardry.
When a guitar is born it yearns to be played like that. Thank you.
I love how Billy actually turns and listens to each musician play.
... and the bass player (?) just keeps on a-going. Brilliant.
It's gentlemanly respect. Humility and passion. Billy Strings has it all !!!!!
Thanksgiving morning and this song is exactly how I feel. Billy strings.....legend
... and with proper respect and humility- he out- guns everyone standin on that stage! The young man is a class act and,I believe- a true artist..
Plays well with others👍👌🕯🤩😻💪😉😘🤯🥳🤠😳😻🙉
If Molly and Billy had a baby they could call it Milly and it would be a great bluegrass player...
I just said nearly the same thing!!
Nah. “Bolly.”
Priceless!
@@erniewms1 yes short for bollocks
@@erniewms1 ... and he will rule us all!
Bluegrass is in safe hands with this kind of young talent showing how its should be performed.
You don't know the dark hands of greed. This boy will tear himself when he learns the sweet smell of money. It always happens. Greed is god too which every other god answers to...it's called capitalism...some foriegner can rip every local business from your hands and you will hallelujah for any walmart with in a few hours. Greed is unstoppable. As long as you can stuff food in your face, you will be comfortable with rape by business, because your local god has convinced you Jesus is a Capitalist....your down fall...you will blame on others...but deep down you worship greed. Awaken to the "blessings" of that god. Christianity is the Christians mask of "fuck you, we worship greed".
NOT
Yep that's right 😎🍷
Thank God luv Bluegrass
For sure, Billy has me listening to blue grass again for the first time in 15 or 20 years.
This boy has been down to the crossroads.
Watch that kind of talk it's still a Secret
Can’t say that ... let him play aloud with no dealings ... no devil can touch this
LOL ! shoot yeah , Billy Strings is def. skilled
He has indeed - just look at his markings.
He doesn't play like he sold his soul to the devil...I think it was more like Satan sold his to him!
I can't stop watching Billy Strings videos!!! And I've been a diehard metal guy all my life!!
Tom Wahl me too but as a guitarist trust me...Metal and Bluegrass are the hardest and bloodiest types of music to play. This kid just flat out thrashes bluegrass! 😂
Welcome to bluegrass.
Did you find him through that reddit post? All i've been doing the last couple of days is listen to his music. Truly a genius!
Me three. Metalhead, who enjoys Billy's playing as much as I enjoy Thrash and other metal genres.
THIS IS THE WAY A MUSIC VIDEO SHOULD BE!!!!
NO ZOOMING OR MOVING CAMERAS.
LINGERING CAMERA ANGLES INSTEAD OF RELENTLESS 1-SECOND PEEKS.
JUST SHOW THE MUSICIANS.
BRAVO TO THIS VIDEO'S MAKERS.
Thanks Roger! We appreciate it
1000% agree.
Molly Tuttle is one of the best cross pickers ever!
You've got today's best flat pickers playing together here.
No she's not, but she's very good. No need for hyperbole.
is that what thats called "cross picking" nice... I did not know that
No she is young in pucking good but thats it she needs a better stage performance borderline hippie
r u fuckin stupid she is literally one of the greatest flatpickers of all time
long as their's folks like this around there's still hope.
Ron Azbill gives me hope for the next generation. I used to see Sam Chatman (original ) do this in Mississippi in the 70s. ❤️
There’s
@@DMB414034 there are
absolutely!!!
@@dunruden9720 'der
This definitely doesn't suck.
From July czcams.com/video/zfPn1u8AwJ0/video.html
Actually, it does
Guy who wrote this song was Sam Chatmon, played with the Mississippi Sheiks who recorded it. Billy does about as good a rendition as Iv'e heard.
With both Molly and Billy strumming and singing, they sure make beautiful music together!
I kinda wished they’d fall in love but I hear he has a girlfriend. They would’ve made beautiful babies
i came here 2 min ago from watching Molly at Delfest. she is the bomb !
I have never heard or seen this woman before, but man her lead guitar picking.. That style is just different.. everything from her ear for what she likes/sounds good, down to the way she moves her wrist when she picks, like real percussive. It's something about the way she plays is just very unique, of course in a badass way.
Fun fact I read she won a few major blue grass awards for her song writing and playing. As a metal guitarist for over 20 years I am in awe of both of them. Playing at this level is just unreal
It’s a claw hammer style. She actually has a video that walks through the technique. And I agree , she sounds fantastic playing it.
Molly Tuttle. Now you know. The day just got brighter.
Molly is very good. Givin' Billy a run for his money.
She's as good on a fiddle banjo and mandolin her father Jack taught her and she has two younger brothers that are just as good her brother Sully plays in AJ Lee's band
Outside of my three-year-old granddaughter, Miss Molly has the sweetest smile on the planet ...
Tonetwisters she’s an angel
Guess you haven't seen Erica yet...
Tuba Skinny...
My lower jaw really hurts, from hitting the damn floor.......and I’ve been playing over 50 years. RESPECT!!!!!
Anono mous I’m sure you’ve seen Marcus King, as well. If not, he’s another spectacular young talent.
right behind you, 43 years and used to Jam in Asheville, NC - Billy "Burn 'em Up" Strings! I'm afraid Molly is going to have problems with that style latter in life-
You’re throat hurt to
Butch Davis why is she gonna have a problem with that style?
@@LicksoftheLegend
She won't. She'll be fine
Thumbs down???
Really???
What sincere individual could give a thumb down on this awesome performance???
A DUMB ASS!
I like how Billy keeps his eye on Molly's left hand while she works.. A sign of respect if I've ever seen one.
It is so evident in this video that Billy is at heart an enthusiastic fan of music. He delights in the performances of everyone with whom he performs. It’s great to see him grinning from ear to ear as Molly and his bandmates-virtuosos every one-react to his energy and give it back.
It's her band.
You mean to tell me the guy who plays music for a living is a fan of music?
Two people at the top, no attitude, just talent and an appreciation for their audience. Long live BG
“I always get jealous when I see and hear talent like this, “Forgive me Lord 🙏
I started learning the guitar at 50.
I hope to play as good as this..
Sometime before the kids read the eulogy, anyway 😁
It´s OK, this time...
Love me some history. This song was written by Walter Vinson and Lonnie Chatmon. They were core members of the Mississippi Sheiks, who first recorded it in 1930.
Grateful Dead introduced me to this song a long time ago. Say what you will about them but Jerry Garcia loved him some history also.
@@disprogreavette8545 Jerry also loved and was inspired by bluegrass.
Thanks as I often wondered who wrote such masterpiece
Molly is too low in the mix. Like leavin’ the icing off the cake. Love these two together and apart. Want to hear them both.
I notice Billy has a mic inside his guitar, likely in addition to a transducer. Looks like Molly just has a transducer. Probably why Billy is louder and has a nicer tone.
Yeh she got screwed with the sound.
We are pickin’ nits here. The mix levels are controlled at the board, not by the type of mic or p/u. Just want hear everything.
she is no where near that dudes level. she plays rhythm guitar.
sorry to say it. but on her best day she couldnt compete with billy in his sleep with one hand.
you heard just as much of her as needed. having her any louder wouldnt have made it any better. it would have made it worse.
the one part where she actually go screwed was they didnt film her solo. they got it from an angle where she was covered by billy.
@@dbspaceoditty
Rhythm guitar?
czcams.com/video/PZNqqIMoi0A/video.html
It’s like Billy takes us through a wormhole in the universe at the end of his solo, and when we come out the other side it all makes perfect sense.
Perfectly said.
They both amaze me. She does not take a back seat to anyone.
No way does she!!
Each time I watch Molly in clips like this, and marvel at her awesome musicianship, and see that killer smile of hers, I can't help but ponder the following:
Why couldn't Molly have come on the scene while I was still out touring, & playing Bluegrass Music!!!
I would've loved & treasured sharing a stage or two with her!!! ☺️ What a tremendous talent, and I'm quite sure, a very sweet young lady to be around.

Molly is superb.She can live with anyone on stage.Theres not a better bluegtass player out there.
Easily two of the best flat pickers in the world at this time. Molly, Billy, and the rest of the band are amazing. I love the grin Billy lets out when Molly follows up with some insane picking of her own.
You can never hear guest instruments....
@@KimiWallrus 1:17 through 1:52... just watch her guitar. You can clearly hear it.
@@hunterwarner393 And he's the guest....
Definitely in my top five. Check out Jake Workman! Billy isn’t just a great picker on multiple instruments, he’s a great singer, and a great songwriter. I know Molly plays several instruments as well, and she write great songs. She’s been techinv the boys how it’s done for a while now!
2:51...priceless
These two are among the best players in today's bluegrass/newgrass music.
The old people are afraid they might go commercial, that's why their so critical, they wanna keep this music to themselves, because its mostly about tradition
Kids like this constantly sell out though. I'd say the fears are justified
Personally I think you could match them up against any guitarists in the world and they would hold their own if not
Leaving them in the dust.
Billy is the hot artist of today. You can’t leave the McCourys family and traveling McCourys , Sierra Hull, Dre Anders, and the whole contingent out of the mix. It’s their roots and all are fantastic musicians pushing each other’s envelopes.
these two are among the best musicians today, period.
I really feel like Billy is one of the very few people who can rightfully cover a Doc song.
It’s a Howling Wolf song fir your information
@@williamdillard4291 it’s actually a Mississippi Sheiks song, or at least that’s the first recording.
This version is obviously a takeoff of the Doc Watson version though, lyrically.
Billy Strings is a top notch player. There's no question about it. But Molly just has something extra in her playing that very few pickers ever have. She is amazing!
Okay... Billy is in another world.. World class...
@wesleybullock814 you're actually wrong about who's the world class act here. She's like the op said, she has a bit more of everything. A true guitar goddess.
When I left work, someone asked where I was going.
I said “to listen to some Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings".
And here I am.
Billy spends the entire time enjoying watching her hands while never missing a note...
You ever seen jerry garcia play? Hell shred incredible solos while just gazing at the band. Never once looking down at his guitar
How bout Molly Tuttle?
Billy Strings: _shreds faces in Bluegrass_
Me: _Brain melts from the awesomeness_
a fun one for sure. czcams.com/video/zfPn1u8AwJ0/video.html
How fabulous are you when you can make Billy Strings smile!? Hit them strings, Molly!
I'm sure Doc is smiling down from heaven.
Mississippi shreiks wrote and recorded this long before Doc got ahold of it. Cream recorded it as a rock and roll song in the sixties and made it a much bigger hit.
John Y Yaussi and your point is?
When it comes to traditional music it does not matter who wrote it because most of the time were not exactly sure who did
I like at the end Molly says "Thank You" to Billy and he says "I Love You Molly" the the says "I Love You too"! That's sweet Man
Vlodec can’t people be friends without you questioning their motive?
You guys know, these two are housemates in Nashville, right???
@Vlodec A big show? 😂😂 They exchanged pleasantries barely louder than a whisper and not in the mic, the audience likely didn't even hear it. Even a friendless, cynical bore couldn't possibly be bothered by that exchange. But here we are. 😂
How the fuck did you spin this round to involve trump 😂
@Vlodec Man, you must be real lonely otherwise this would be a complete non issue.
What am I doing here? I was watching old blues musicians and came across this almost accidentally. Now I can’t stop watching. And Billy is so respectful of all the other musicians playing with him. Brilliant.
I’ve discovered a whole new genre of music to me.
Molly is the real deal ! No tattoos , her hair is styled nice , NO GIMMICKS ! & she has both of her ears.
Really glad I’ve been training my right hand all these years! I can’t wait to learn to play
Dude. TMI
Gotta start somewhere.... I guess.
"It's all in the wrist." LOL
Tyler Cole - that's hilarious!
Good golly miss Molly!
I think yong Americans understand the importance of truth of blues rooting in American culture which is made by so diverse people from different cultures , i hope the way go to new blues blooming not a safe come back and made good old song again and again...blues must be free anf true not only to Americans listener but say what is blues can say about today's American life ...not what companies and government wants....❤❤❤
why the thumbs down? This is beautiful. Must be those city folk that don't understand true talent. Love me some molly tuttle....
Billy is getting tight here. Molly is the smoothest flat picker ive ever heard. Like a breath of fresh air for some one like me that focusses on least amount of pick strokes. While she can still pick every note and be that smooth is boggling to me.
Wow !! Good job!! Bill Monroe would be proud I am glad the younger generation is keeping Real Blue Grass music alive
Mitchell Marcus , a full stop between proud and I would have made more sense .
Bill didnt like long hairs. Fact
@@iknowyouarebutwhatami Bill loved and respected young people especially ones with musical talents FACT!!! I knew Mr Bill Monroe FACT!!!!I played music with him many times FACT!!!! D von how did you know Mr Monroe so well QUESTION?????
Nice to know there's people out there playing real music. Not relying on computerized, studio sounds.
I've just discovered this cat a few days ago and I still keep thinking that something about this kid reminds me of the great Hank Sr
It's 4:15 on a Saturday afternoon and the last 3 and a half minutes were the most productive part of my day. Pure enjoyment.
I love how Molly wants to impress Billy and billies joy at playing with his friend! I was born in the wrong country! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Love seeing two kids inspringing each other, not competing, not one-upping, just loving the music
It's simply fantastic that this style of music has been kept alive and well by younger folks of this calibre
Where the hell have I been??!
So glad I just found these guys while surfing down the yootoob rabbit hole.
Simply outstanding. I'm hooked!
I didn’t know she was wearing a wig. It looks so natural. I had a friend with that kind of Alopecia. It’s a land mine of emotions to get through and God bless her for finding her joy
Sitting on top of the world from Patti Cornell long live the music and the fun
It speaks of his character and love for what he does when he really enjoys watching the other players do their thing. "Who's better" don't really matter when everyone is playing
Molly has been dazzling me for a long while now, and this with Billy is downright amazing!
'Molly Tuttle'... Tuttle family kids from northern Cal? All grown up ;}
Billy is one of the ppl who can play like someone talk.
Hi.......Billy its very very good....
I like you still guitar and sing....i am ReedOne from indonesia i love country song and Blugrass 👏👏👏👍👍🙏
That was sweet. I like how Molly and Billy fed off each other.
I loved how Billy smiled at her while playing but it looked to me like she kept turning away from him. I wanted her to look him in the eye and smile back.
Billy strings loves it when people do solos
Didn't realise you could play guitar with your face.
What a beast!
Why have I never heard of this guy?!?! This dude rocks bluegrass!!
Because commercial radio sucks ass.... These two are among the top guitarists on the scene today, and commercial radio hasn't played a peep from either one of them, at least here in Chicago........
Better late then never
The future of Bluegrass is in very capable hands with these two!
and many other young players out on the current scene..... Too many to count.
@@CorneiliusLibowitz Sierra Ferrell is the one to keep an eye on! What a talent! Check out some of her videos on CZcams.
@@thelakeman5207 I already have! Seeing her AND BMFS at Hinterland in August. I just hope she'll still be with her band--looks like they're not on the Euro tour (except for the bass player).... Hope that lineup stays together!
Just got introduced to this kinda music last week(usually a heavy metal fan) and I'm absolutely obsessed with it.
My dad always calls blue grass “acoustic thrash” because it “registers in the brain the same” 😂 normalize cross genre love
I reckon so
She’s the only girl who can outplay Billy.. when she wants to!
She’s holds back so others can shine.
Billy is so sweet. Despite his incredible talent, he always rightfully acknowledges the folks he plays with.
Woww I'm from Holland but I really really like this video it makes me feel so alive much ❤️ from Amsterdam
Once in a while someone like this comes along it's so nice
I’m from the U.K., and I always start watching this stuff when I’ve had a few .
Thought he was going to stand next to Molly but he was listening to the Fiddle, man has the right priorities
There's a sense of watching history unfold with this pair on the same stage. Simply unbelievable. I'm here in the UK and we don't have musicians any more, let alone any of Molly or Billy's calibre.
There's a whole generation of new young musicians coming through, real musicians, really strong - they're just not famous yet except for a pocket of London jazz players who've broken out. It's a joy to behold. Whether they ever get to this kind of level is another question, admittedly...
Just discovered Billy and wanted to hear him and Molly together and here they are
Everybody raving about Billy and Molly, I’m over here amazed by Adam Corollas fiddle skillz.
Christian Sedelmyer.
This is GREAT 🎸🎸😍 and its Friday. This makes me happy and i need a beer and just sit back in the sun ☀️😎🍺
Totally convinced God got tired of people selling there souls to the devil to become good pickers so god made billy. This man is amazing!
Billy is very artistically generous. Class act.
I don't disagree, but I am curious what you meant by this. For joining Molly's set?
vireogilvus is Janice trying to say that Molly is not as technically good as Bill? I hope Janice can help us. I am curious as well. And maybe I don't disagree with Janice's future argument.
Real classy to have KKK tattoos. /s
Be better, people. Billy is a bigot.
Wow! That shit went sideways... quick! Billy is always respectful of other people's talent and giving them time, and the non verbal comm. is amazing! Not even entertaining the KKK thing, random other post... once you get popular... the kooks come out!
This girl is very talented. I enjoy her music as well
The look on Miss Molly says good golly! I want you Billy!
Billy's so good at making the people he plays with sound even better. Whenever he accompanies someone he helps them shine.
And, that's the difference between a musician and an 'artist'. It should always be about the music.
Two musical geniuses ! Thanks to CZcams to getting their music out there ! Where is the platform for these artists ? God save us from the crap on radio and T,V,
dugout homes in woods
where are they. just. disappeared were are they I won't them back.
I have to say Billy's soul is ancient!
going to Grey Fox for the first time this year, we can't wait!
Damn! Never gave bluegrass a chance. I've been missing out this whole time? Love me some Molly and Billy.
Makes me smile at my phone listening these guys!
Cigar Gypsies Lol! My wife seen me smiling at my phone and said, “No sir! who the hell got you smiling like that?”
Grabs my phone, looks through all my messages, emails,......
Guess she has a right to be worried! I’m in love with this music!
From Manchester United Kingdom.watched Billy and his band❤fucking amazing 👍
The best left hand and the best right hand out today. Love to see Billy making Molly smile in the intro good times
Billy and Molly are spectacular musicians in their own right and absolute dynamite together. Unbelievable talent and wonderful young people to boot!!! Awesome stuff.
George Jones asked whose going to fill their shoes? Well, I think we are finding out. I'm proud of these kids. Love em! I want to see them live.
A beautiful woman just sent me this song. Fitting title.
Dear God the musicianship.
I saw Billy Strings at 4Peaks Festival in Oregon. Waiting for him to come back.
Watching Strings play is like watching those irish riverdance people....like there legs aren't even connected
New Generation of E.T musicians.
Molly is shredding in this video too.... Dayum
Save my soul ,this ain't your average rock and roll ! Thanks for the video .
This isnt just music, its heart and soul.
I’ve watched this many times and I’m still shocked by the virtuosity of their playing.
I'm more of a Rock/Metal guitar player, and know very few things about Jazz or Blues. But I'm glad I found this, I've learnt so much just by watching this.
