Had to call him once to get my Keith Tuners overhauled and he was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever spoken to. I told him it was a privilege to speak to him, he humbly thanked me and then proceeded to overhaul my tuners free of charge! Who does that anymore?
I heard him play with Jim and Jesse McReynolds at Bass Mountain probably 40 years or so ago. Always solid banjo and as someone else said, a very nice gentleman...
Dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend recently xD
Interesting that he's choosing to do this song in the key of G, versus the typical capo at 2nd fret. No Mandolin, no fiddle player, most likely why. Same notes basically. I am looking for live video of Bill's playing, I have his book and there are lots of recordings but not much live stuff out there. Keep looking I guess...
He's actually surpassed JD crow.. JD was on the greatest Scruggs style banjo players.. But bill could do everything JD could do and Earl and then a whole bunch of other stuff with the melodic style that he started.. You really don't know who you're talking about do you? That's the problem is nobody really understands the mark that some players have made on a whole generation.. Keith has made his mark big time.. You just don't realize it
@@Pete-z6e No more like apples and race cars.. Bill surpassed JD very easily.. JD could not play what bill could play but bill could play Everything JD could play. The whole melodic style is credited to bill.. That's a lot.. Respect big time.
Bill he’s the man who started the move to melodic playing!

@Lucca Jesus definitely, I have been using Instaflixxer for years myself :D
June Apple. Probably the arrangement in Tony’s book is from Bill.
Bill moved Earl Scruggs style up a few notches. A great unfluence.
Carroll best taught bill Keith melodic style
Who's the guitar player?
The one and only Ricky Araiza!
