His Pappy, after playing and singing, asked his boy.... Well Billy Strings, what you gonna do with your life ? Young Billy looked up at his Pappy and replied, "I am gonna grow to be a mean ol' singing, guitar picking man." Billy put so much heart into his learning thru the years, He earned the greatest gift of all.... a humble spirit to carry him across those many burdens of well.... Being a dun full grown, mean ol' , guitar picking man!!

I've never given Bluegrass much of chance to listen but Billy Strings is hard to ignore with his playing. Quickly gained to one of my top 5 guitarists in the past 3 years. Up against Hendrix, Vaughan, Page, Roy Buchanan, and Guthrie Govan.
I love these guys. Pure, genuine, and super-talented musicians. While I cannot confirm this, I am told that the bass player (Royal Masat) is from (or lived in) Alba, TX. I lived in Mineola, TX for a number of years which is just a short hop from Alba. East Texas has a great musical history. Plus, the fishing is pretty good too. Great job y'all! Keep it coming.
Looking at this today, "they were so much younger then", but still just as good. This was before the addition of the most excellent fiddle player Alex Hargreaves. I would double-dog dare anyone to put together a better bluegrass bad!
What was done (by YT?) to this video to make my browser say it can't play the video? I love watching Billy play. It is a shame YT isn't going to let me see this performance of his.
I used to listen to Doc Watson more than Billy Strings, and before that it was Keller Williams. A compalation would be epic, I'd hold such gathering on my 48.5 acres in North Carolina. HMU.😊 i never mentioned 33 is my lucky number.
Been trying to find the Asheville Halloween wizard of Oz show. Used to be on UA-cam but removed over a year ago. Any chance you guys could post that one?
literally the best musician in the world
I agree !
Where does that leave Ricky Skaggs ?
@@danwebb4418Ricky, as good as he is, is not in this league my friend
Not to diminish Billy Strings but Jake Workman, Trey Hensley, Bryan Sutton are but three players with more versatility and skill than Strings.
True, but I’d still rather go to Billy Strings.
Damn Son ..! Pick’n Don’t Git Any Better Than That ..! 🎻🪕💨

I'll add in Duane Allman and Derek Trucks.
I'm a Billy fan for life. I'm actually a big fan of Billy Strings and Billy Failing's banjo playing. They're a damn good band!
Well I guess I know what I'm doing for the next ten hours. Thanks Billy and the gang!
Billy's really setting bluegrass on fire oneof The best bands ever
Love Banjo Billy getting to sing his song. love hearing that tune

Brilliant as always, Billy, get that phone out of your pocket, it's way too close to the family jewels.
For real the best in the world love your Sunshine 🔆
All the power you could want. Hargreaves adds beauty. IMO.
Whoevers here. Most Likely good people's. OneLove. 🔥🌬🌹
Thanks for posting this, Billy. You worked so hard that year!

Thompson looks like a youngin
🙄 "PromoSM"
peccato per quel effetto sugli assoli
Great music, but man, you guys look like you don't wanna be there...
I think Billy is a woman. Waist is wider than his shoulders.
This man's talent is out of this world. Don't care much for the shape of a women, eh?
