I TOTALLY HE SHOULD GIVE LESSONS MY GUITAR PLAYING HAS CHANGED SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS IM 50 NO AND IM GGETTIN PRETTY GOOD THIS GEY JUST HAS IT THJE IITT THING .. LUV BILLY STRINGS
The power he plays with is just incredible. Volume wise he can legitimately make an acoustic guitar hang with an electric guitar thru a 30 watt amp. It's insane how clean and loud he plays.
@@heathkish6901 I had forgotten I had written that and reading the comment only, I thought "now here's a guy who understands"! Time for me to go to the retirement home...
This is one of the most talented young men I've ever heard. He absolutely owns that guitar and couldn't be any quicker of a picker. The first time I saw him, I thought to myself now if this guy can keep his liquor and drug use under control he's really going places. I'm wondering if he was born with a guitar in hand. If not then he had music in him since birth. He's definitely a winner.
Yes Ive researched this and have followed him as long as I can remember .Him and his father played together all the time when he was a youngster. I learned a lot from my Dad about Ham radio, but I'll never be the guy he was. He built his own radio from a kit in 63. Then he had free rain of Mather Air Force Bases surplus radio parts. He and I built him a Ham shack in the garage and he was able to talk to anyone around the world. But they call these smartphones and there no smarter than the person behind it.
@@AshevilleVintageGuitar Ive watched a lot of his videos and Ive never seen him even look wasted. It's just hope it stays that way. There's a lot of talent in this young man. I'd just hate to hear he had gotten into drugs.
BILLY YOUR TALENT is the biggest inspiration for all the world will become a better place by your talent. Thanks forever man see you in Iowa soon tear up the Uk 🇬🇧 brother.
The first time I heard this man I thought he was just a flash in the pan,…just a show off ,of sorts. It sure looks like I was wrong and “oh my!”, how he’s come along. It just shows how if you don't go wrong and keep your nose to the old grindstone,you just may be that someone,you always were,in your spirit form.Yep.I sure was wrong!Thank you Billy.You make me smile with new hope for this old street/folk singer. “With all the LOVE cooked in”(Slow Food by Greg Brown)
Always have to check to see if I've mistakenly sped up your videos, Billy. You're truly incredible, brother. I wish and pray for all things Good and great in your and your family's lives. This tune reminded me of my father playing me Mississippi John in the early 70's. Thank you! 😊❤
He is very clearly not just someone who picked up a guitar and wanted to start playing/writing music. He is Talented and Gifted (TAG) for sure. Quite a prodigy.
💕💕💕💕he is the MOST PRECIOUS thing with that short hair. Saw him front center in Wisconsin 2 weeks ago opening night. MAKE THE DRIVE TO ANOTHER STATE IF YA HAVE TO TO SEE HIM LIKE I DID. YA WONT REGRET it. No Illinois show this year. We got to see him at his last social distance show in Schaumburg Illinois last summer.
Love the way your Martin sounds, great song and talent you have, I’ve heard many songs from you and you are truly a great artist ✌️ I think I have the same guitar as you with the exception that it’s the cutaway version. Cheers

@@ledaswan5990 maybe his parents idk there kinda older now his step dad gotta be getting up there in age. Great musician tho an dont get me wrong iv sat on a couch just like that lol might of even had plastic wrap on it lol
Ya gotta admire a man who gets tattoos to match his couch.
Oh man. Comments like this make my day…brilliant
good eye
Thanks for making me laugh out loud
Or a couch to match his tattoos.
And the table cloth too! I guess he likes a certain pattern
I just hope everyone realizes how good a guitar player he really is
What guitar is this?
@@Quistophaaa looks like a Martin Road series
Absolutely amazing
Dude is jamming with Bella fleck. Really,really good guitar player
This guy is an absolute legend... incredible guitar playing... truly outstanding

@@zzombiedeath YEAH MAN HE'S REALLY GREAT.
Best living guitar player
I've seen alot of pickers in my time. He's absolutely one of the best I've seen
Billy Strings has a kind of authenticity, it's hard to describe....but fun to watch....
Damn man, I've never seen someone play a guitar like that before. It's so awesome.
You gotta check out Doc Watson, a big influence.
Truly transcendent
The power he plays with is just incredible. Volume wise he can legitimately make an acoustic guitar hang with an electric guitar thru a 30 watt amp. It's insane how clean and loud he plays.
how clean he plays with that power is whats amazing
Love you brother Born and raised on blue Grass your amazing
Wish I could like it a thousand times 🤷🏼♂️
What a coincidence, I was scrolling through your channel last night and thinking “I wish he’d upload more vids”!
It's all a simulation man...
No such thing as coincidence 🎶💨💨🤞
Legend in the making. These are the things on which a heart grows fuller. Well done young lad.
To your info, this is an old video. He actually is a grammy winner by now :)
That boy can play!
Im always up and wonderful when i hear this man. Hes a special gift
My favorite artist
He exemplifies the saying "Ain't no money above the 7th fret"! ;-)
Most underrated comment in the history of UA-cam, well done!
@@heathkish6901 I had forgotten I had written that and reading the comment only, I thought "now here's a guy who understands"! Time for me to go to the retirement home...
I'm 51...seen him live 3 times..ain't retired yet. But I switched to mandolin ...
I got a lot of billy strings work on my riding playlist. It makes my rides and life so much better. Dude is a lifesaver if he know's it or not.
Very gifted musician, hell of a guitarist and singer
My new theme song! Thanks Billy!
His fills between measures is beautiful he looks effortless.
I'm glad I gave this song a thumbs up BEFORE hearing it for the first time. Billy Strings never disappoints.
This is possibly the best written song and guitar playing ever made
has a similar ring to it as dust in a baggie, both are badass songs
Most excellent. Thx from Sydney, Au.
Legit one of my top 20 guitarists ever.. this boy can pick a guitar like no one else.

Sheesh I got cramp in my eyes watching his fingers fly! Fantastic!

Billy strings where the hell did you come from?! Your music is already timeless. 🔥
Phenomenal!! Billy is amazing !!!
Just an amazing talent. I mean, my GOD!!!!
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL GUITAR PLAYING!
Glad you make your business our business these days. Been a while since I heard Doc play this one.
Great guitar picking! Great singing! Great timing! U really have great voice. Always lo this song! Glad u brought this old song back.
The post says 6 days ago. Sounds so great for being back in the day.

Sitting up here in Ionia, Michigan, remembering him from "back when"...
Always have to check to see if I've mistakenly sped up your videos, Billy. You're truly incredible, brother. I wish and pray for all things Good and great in your and your family's lives. This tune reminded me of my father playing me Mississippi John in the early 70's. Thank you! 😊❤
Was Billy born with a guitar in his hand? OMGSH! Love this boy!
You can get said tattoos at front street in traverse city michigan:)
He is very clearly not just someone who picked up a guitar and wanted to start playing/writing music. He is Talented and Gifted (TAG) for sure. Quite a prodigy.
Great song well written women make your song writing hit home I felt this one in the chest sadly
I wish I could play like you Billy - excellent as usual!
Nice hearing your new stuff.
He's incredible.
New Couch, New History!
Hope he has a blast in Europe. Can't wait to see him again.
i listen to this almost every day at work. i wish he would play this now
I used to like to hear Norman Blake play that one. Good job!
Billy, looking forward to your coming to Indy for a few nights this summer.
I think i might do a lesson on this,its superb. Love the singlng!
Do it!!
@@michaelmenet2712 already did!
First time I've seen you, very impressive, a big stage is waiting.

I absolutely agree. I saw him in Greensboro in February. Fantastic show
I swear we were literally hypnotized at the Cleveland show.. ain't mad about it
Woo hoo. Such talent!!! 👏👏👏
Love the way your Martin sounds, great song and talent you have, I’ve heard many songs from you and you are truly a great artist ✌️ I think I have the same guitar as you with the exception that it’s the cutaway version. Cheers
If you like this one, you should see the one he bought from Gruhn’s a couple months back
Ah man i thought it was gonna be Mississippi John Hurt but you indeed rocked the house with this one. Exquisite
Was hoping for Mississippi John Hurt but i'm not disappointed at all. Is this Billy's own version or something else?
Anything short of amazing!!
Top notch playing.
Absolutely gutted I was too late realising Billy was playing in London, praying he'll come back again in the future
I know someone who had extras, if you're interested let me know. You'll never forgive yourself if you miss the show, haha.
@@LowerStandards33 PLS
@@LowerStandards33 Could you please shove the next recommended video at the end "Rubeuns Train" up, so I can see his fingers?
So happy to be one of the first to hear this amazing song!
Ya damn right🤘🤪🤘
Wheeeeeeeeeeey!!!! seeing you in London this Sunday!! my girl got me tickets for my 40th whoop whoop cant wait brother
