dude you need to check out Del Mccoury Band or the Tavelin' Mccourys! Excellent BG along the same vein as this. Very popular in the jam festival scene. Railroad Earth and String Cheese Incident would also suit you.
This has got to be the best recorded blue grass song ever! 3 dudes in a field no special effects at all straight up talent. So hail the king of blue grass billy strings
Not sure why you’d tell us all that you kiss your cousin’ or even more strangely that you play this song when you do it, but best of luck for the two of you.

Bro...just found him a few days ago myself. Why is my airwaves bombarded with crap and this guy I got to find hidden away in CZcams land? Did you notice he doesn't even look at his fingers when he's fretting the chords? Unbelievable.
Because we are force fed the new garbage that people are actually calling music these days. Rihanna CRAP Gaga CRAP Cardi fucking B!! Omg such garbage. Not a real musician or artist in the bunch. Sad sad state of affairs
Its video's like these that make me realize that America's true glory lies in music. There is no bullshitting in that department. They truely are the greatest and leave a legacy that one can't comprehend.
Of all the versions I've seen, this one by far is my favorite. Pure talent and that ascent by Don Julin on the crescendo just blows me away. Great stuff.
In a world of overproduced music, it's really refreshing to see some pickers out in the country gathered around a microphone. Doesn't get much more authentic than that without being there to kick some rocks down the hillside.
For real though when I first heard him I went this man has true bluegrass soul!! His voice and his ability to absolutely obliterate the frets on an acoustic guitar like he does makes me think in his past life he was a bluegrass god
@@samblack5313 Dude, what? Far more? No way. Have you actually paid attention to the lyrics of Semi-Charmed Life? The meth part is overt af. Dust in a Baggie is not even a *little* more overt, I'd say they're both the same... Just plain overt about it.
@@MashPatayta Yeah, I cover it, and this :) semi charmed doesn’t straight up tell you they’re in jail for meth amphetamines 😂 Either way.. both are some good crack tunes.
My uncle was a very big man, shaking his hand was like grabbing a bundle of bananas. He played mandolin like this also it always amazed me bn a guitar player how he played with fingers 4 times the size of mine!
The best guitar player I've personally known is 6'2" and has enormous hands with thick fingers. I have very fine "piano hands" with long slender fingers, but my guitar chops (what few I have) don't hold a candle to his.
This has been showing up in my recommended for ages now, can't believe I'm just checking it out now. Killer performance, haven't been so hot on a guitar solo in a while
🎉🎉 oh my goodness I just need to go see Billy strings along with these men here they are amazing amazing oh my goodness I would love to see him in concert this man his voice he’s so fucking talented Bobbi here from Illinois thank you so much you’re so talented all of you
@@daviroquay I doubt Cap'n Dan meant that literally. Although, as with the Mandolin player, Jack Black himself does look like he might just occasionally enjoy himself a little smoke.
Been living in Europe for almost a decade, and this is the first thing to make me feel homesick. I do miss Tuesday bluegrass jams in the pine barrens...
Perfect song all the way through. Masterful playing with excellent lyrics to boot. My favorite lyric “In here where they call me by a number not a name”
Well this is real country, done the way it's meant to be done, with a modern and highly relevant subject, that melds perfectly into the traditional style. Bro country is fake country. This is the real deal, raw, honest and completely authentic.
It always amazes me that Irish and Scottish people have a distinct eye shape and width, and people from the south especially Tennessee and the Carolinas and Kentucky do as well including me
Yeah ,"Country" is Nashvilles top 40 , bluegrass is it's own thing all together. Check out Bill Monroe and the older eras, Strings definitely got some influence from him.

@@genebryant3333 He doesn't have the "age" the current legends have but when he does he'll be seen in the same light. He went toe to toe with Tommy Emmanuel on a very up-tempo song and really impressed me because Tommy plays very fast.
Rice, Flatt, Scrugs, and Monroe didn’t just fall off the turnip truck and start playing like they do. They paid their dues for many years. Springs is paying his dues and he already impresses a lot of people.

That's a pretty solid comment ahahha
And he swears it's someone else's fault...
This is funny....what a thought..lmao
You get my vote for the best “Green Shirt Guy” comment.
I feel like my life changed a little bit when I first heard this song.
1:35 when you’re 14 beers in and your friend asks if you want another

Perfect 👌
Lmao

the dust in the baggie. he put it down. after his mama and daddy had probs. Hope is Real. what a gift from God music is.
That guitar solo/mandolin crescendo 1:24-1:58 was awesome. I've never heard bluegrass like this before!
Dude. seriously. I can't stop listening to it!

It's been called new grass. It's bad ass!
watch the version of him playing this solo in a basement. he pretty much plays both parts himself. its incredible
Judah and the lion use this style in a lot of their songs
Cop: is this your dust in a baggie?
Billy: 1:35
Ha!
😅😅
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
Somebody gif that haha
Brandon...stone cold bro...lolol
The vocal chops is what puts me over the edge with this fellow. This is steam engine soul. And he's on the whistle.
What an interesting way to express that. Sweet!
Agree..damn.

It's good but maybe you don't listen to a lot of live bluegrass.

How did I never hear of Billy until just now? Unbelievable talent.
Yeah i just found out about a month ago i feel i have been robbed 😝
A buddy mentioned him to me.... but I blew it off..... then through watching Marcus King this Billy Strings popped up.....now I can't turn it off!!!!

Its video's like these that make me realize that America's true glory lies in music. There is no bullshitting in that department. They truely are the greatest and leave a legacy that one can't comprehend.
I love how he just wrote this song messing around and accident wrote a hit song. True talent
I like the guy, but it's an extremely common bluegrass chord progression.
Really... music in general.
The lyrics are what separates it.
@@justandardprocedure true but making a hit out of it isn’t that easy.. or I’d be doing it too! Haha
@@justandardprocedure and his song turmoil and tinfoil is pretty experimental
@@justandardprocedure the sad truth is that what he sings about isn't wrong.... twenty long years for some dust in a baggie... :/
@@justandardprocedure Great hits can come out of common chord progression.
I love it when the bluegrass is blazing and it looks and sounds like a workout to even play it or try and keep up. Bass player was on point too!
very fun to sing to as well, as a rap fan, it almost reminds me of the way you have to keep right on beat when rapping
its crazy cause this is the best version and it has less views
Of all the versions I've seen, this one by far is my favorite. Pure talent and that ascent by Don Julin on the crescendo just blows me away. Great stuff.
In a world of overproduced music, it's really refreshing to see some pickers out in the country gathered around a microphone. Doesn't get much more authentic than that without being there to kick some rocks down the hillside.
It really is monster..from all of them.
agree .. that crescendo is hair raising
I agree 100%. This is by far my favorite version as well.
the dancing hobbit version is also great just for the visuals and to show how far he has come!
This dude just made me pick my guitar back up again….
me too :)
Me too but I could try for a hundred years and not reach his level
Okay, I can't blame it on anybody else. I'm a stoner. I love good rock and roll good beer and good whiskey and good home grown rock and roll
Guy has a voice you'd never expect to come out of his face

For all those big guys who think your fingers are too big to pick this 200+ guy picked a mandolin pretty dam good
My uncle was a very big man, shaking his hand was like grabbing a bundle of bananas. He played mandolin like this also it always amazed me bn a guitar player how he played with fingers 4 times the size of mine!
Yeah, I'm just barely over 200 and I can handle the mando just fine. Not nearly as good as this bloke, though!
It also depends on how your body handles the fat, This guy probably has skinnier finger tips, but some unlucky lads have dick fingers completely.
It’s about the fingertips, not how fat your ass is....
The best guitar player I've personally known is 6'2" and has enormous hands with thick fingers. I have very fine "piano hands" with long slender fingers, but my guitar chops (what few I have) don't hold a candle to his.
Well, I've got about 5000 more listens to go before I get sick of this song, wish me luck.

Not just going through the motions. Working up a sweat. Gritting teeth and driving into a phenomenal performance.
Who gave Jack Black a Mandolin and drugs?
Oh damn Cap'n Dan... That was my exact thought too!
JB doesn t take drug. .. does he?
@@daviroquay I doubt Cap'n Dan meant that literally. Although, as with the Mandolin player, Jack Black himself does look like he might just occasionally enjoy himself a little smoke.
You mean Peter Jackson?
You appear to be assuming jack black didn’t previously own a mandolin or a collection of drugs, and I think you may be incorrect

The quiver in his voice at "number not a name", is BRILLIANT vocals
I would like to donate my ears to this talented musician
You could start by giving Billy half an ear
This is when Billy was at his best.
The fact that this song is seamlessly following paper logs in one performance! All of these musicians have some serious chops
Damn this dude is good I just discovered him and found out he is touring next week in my hometown music festival I might have to go now for sure.
You are so lucky! Billy is never going to come to my small Indian town afterall
Edit: Indian as in the 'Turban Twisters'
Now this how Bluegrass should be played - with passion and fire. Billy Strings is astonishing - so much talent - and gifted for one so young.
Yes yes yes🦅💚🦅💚🦅💚🦅
When you use to have gauges in your ear.
Killer song.
Ya, they look good compared to others that stopped wearing them. They usually end up looking like cat buttholes. Either way... killer song.
If the song has even a grain of truth, is inspiring to see someone reach the other side
A voice that sounds about 30 years older than he is. Glorious!
Anyone whose ever made a serious attempt at flatpicking can appreciate just how talented Billy is.
Is ‘flatpicking’ a term exclusive to this genre? I’ve not heard the term in my 39 years on this planet and I’m quite a decent guitarist 😂
Damn right. I can flatpick up to about 120bpm but after that forget it 😆 Not easy for me

I love the seriousness of everything going on, the older gentleman put everything where it needs to be if that makes sense! Bravo 😂
This kid is a legend already. His vocals are classic. Best thing to happen to this genre of music since doc Watson or Merle Haggard
