I have heard Billy Strings play with many guitarists but I don't think I've heard a better duo than this pairing with Bryan Sutton. The two of them together have a purity in their music that transcends each individual guitar.
@@ChronicCraftsman I'm lucky. I don't have to stack rank them. I can simply note that they are in that cluster of top-notch guitarists and let it go at that.
It’s because Bryan Sutton is so well accomplished as a musician and a teacher and such and amazing flatpicker. Helps keep everything right in the sweet spot
If you don't play guitar, you'll never really understand just how talented these two men really are. With little or no prep they just started picking and melded together seamlessly. Sometimes. I'll swear the very best can practically read each other's minds when they play together. Only bad thing about watching these two is that I have an urge to burn my guitars, but I seem to get over it and try and get a little better everyday!
How true , these guys are blessed beyond. Im grateful to hear .I play as well and lets just say these guys are very inspirational to my motivation to play guitar... On a scale of 1 to 100 I'm a 3 maybe lol . I love playin..
Back in the late '90's we attended the annual Bill Monroe Celebration at the Ryman. The Del McCoury band couldn't make it last minute, so they had some local players fill in. Just happened to be: Bela Fleck; Sam Bush; Stuart Duncan; Jerry Douglas; and a fresh-faced young guy, Bryan Sutton. Thought we'd hit pay dirt. Didn't take long to know who Bryan Sutton was. Have appreciated that Bryan has been playing with many of the younger pickers over the past years. Class act. Even trying to give Billy a leg up :)
Saw Ricky Skaggs at California Worldfest in 97 when he went "back" to bluegrass. I was absolutely, totally blown away by his young guitar player. Bryan Sutton.
There’s never been anybody like Billy Strings. Singer/songwriter/player/performer. Has it all. And he’s getting better by the day, playing with a band that spits 🔥
this video changed my life..... as a tool fan i have always said we are super lucky to live in a time with music like that, billy and bryan prove that same love and energy can also turn up in acoustic music. as a musician, i feel like my own palate of musical colors has been SO enhanced by learning bluegrass, it feels like a million years since i held my les paul lmao
Dude. It’s crazy how parallel to me this is. Couldn’t agree more. I was really starting to feel so stale in the same ol electric guitar licks in my SG. Zeppelin, sabbath, tool, you know, stuff like that. And obviously, never anything against that stuff. It’s my favorite music basically. But then bluegrass just grabbed me at the perfect time. I was so bored with guitar at the time. And same as you, I haven’t been plucking anything but my acoustic for a long ass time, when before hand I would barely pick that thing up. I play so much now. Every day I have the strongest itch to sit down and ‘try that bluegrass run again to see if I can get it a little faster now’. And holy shit has it opened a whole other dimension to my electric guitar playing. Just a joy to have really discovered in depth. Literally changed my life as you said too.
@Michael Powell I know.....i was drunk when i said that. LOL. Of course they #could# play together. They're so different though. It would be interesting of course to see how they came each other's ways. I think i was reacting to the competitive nature of the comment, mostly. That they were the "best to ever" gives me some kind of violent reaction when it comes to music, always.
Billy's great ,but the guy he's playing with is the best there is,billy is a singer songwriter and player witch will make him more famous ,but nobody play's this type of stuff better than Bryan Sutton and Billy would tell you that.
Ok? That's like putting Jackson Pollack and Renoir in the same boat. Besides, I think you meant Jerry Garcia not Duane Allman. But I'll forgive you lol.
@@TheNewHugeCountryBoys LOL … just ask Billy, I‘d say. But this is all crap. I wasn’t referring to Bryan because I wanted to rate Billy (pointless and childish, if you know what I mean) Bryan’s playing is the total package when you take also tone into account. His right hand is almost flawless.
@@TheNewHugeCountryBoys knock it off man. Billy idloizes him. AS he should. Sutton has more years and experience. Guarantee ya wouldnt know the difference blindfolded. Neither one of these gents wants people saying crap like you said. Its not a competition bud.
@@TheNewHugeCountryBoys nevermind. I "did my research". You spend a sht ton of time trolling youtube comments of preofessional musicians AND creating music videos that intentionally sound really bad. ( at least i hope thats what youre doing)
the banter at the 11 minute mark is so endearing and joyful - it makes me laugh, cry, and wish that I were 1/10 the musician of these men. I can listen to that banter over and over again. "that's a Bryan lick there. That's the only one I know though" - Billy "sometimes I feel like it's the only one I know" - Bryan perfect exchange, you couldn't write better dialogue.
I can't believe I've never seen this video before. To say I'm blown away is an understatement. These guys are my 2 favorite guitarists holding a pick these days. I'll just put this on a loop and listen to it over and over...
It’s so ridiculous to rate great pickers over one another. Thank goodness they pay zero attention to these immature comparisons. Me personally I think they are both incredible and have their individuality to showcase and that’s the beauty of a show like this. They are two of the best. Remember that many great musicians are all over the world and never get exposure.
The one thumbs down 👎 must be an EX of Billie. :) so glad to discover Strings on UA-cam. It was a video of him playing “Dust in A Baggie” at a house party.
If like me you're a relative newcomer to bluegrass music and the wonderful Billy Strings, stop what you're doing, fast-forward to 27 minutes and listen uninterrupted until 35 minutes. Just brilliant, so talented.
wooowwwwww this is the very very best merci billy merci bryan merci soundtrack engineer, excellent job billy..you are almost twice younger as me..... you broke my heart with your ''postman's mother death letter'' song and you did it twice with fiddlers dram and ragtime annie .... this is bright bright classic very well played bluegrass this video is turning with no end at my farm in france..i love it un tres grand merci greetings from the pyrenees mountains France ps i'am damn happy with my HD28 and D18 and my banjos,,,, yooo bluegrass
Billy, after watching one set you played at Tipitina's, I immediately ordered your three albums and have looked at countless videos. EVERYTIME I watch you play I'm amazed and I truly admire your songwriting! You've got "it" Brother. I have been playing for 28 years and I still suck but I have fun doing it. I wish when I was a youngster I had someone to teach me the skills that you have. I can't wait to see what you put out next. Keep jammin' man and we'll buy them up. 👍👍🎸🔥
Spot on... ✌️One can learn the runs, etc., but both of these men have otherworldly talent that is surpassed only by their passion for the instrument and the traditions that inspire the music.
Billy's picking is so close to Doc's (RIP) and I am thankful that it does. Bryan, what a pleasure to see you and you have exceeded Rice by leaps and bounds! Bravo to both of you!
Billy and Bryan it took a might to finish this,but no matter how long Y'all are Light Soothing Calming and Flowing music puts something in my ❤ of Relaxing the mind 👍😊👍😊👍😊👍😊✌️❤️
Good golly what talent. Love you both! Thanks for doing this fellas, this music can heal the soul for real, y'all play it as good or better than any I've heard.
I get it. I’ve been listening non stop for two weeks and I continue finding little gems. If I would stop rewinding and watching his flat picking solos so much, maybe I could find all his videos. I just enjoy his pickin way too much😁
Absolutely congenial, two with incredible chops and before all both with otherworldly musicianship, playing together and enjoying themselfs. Can it get better?
A new Beginning for country and folk. I would love to see it. Billy is already re-defining country! It needs it badly. Lets get back to Muhlenberg county with America in mind.
What a great set! I could watch these two virtuosos riff off of each other all day. The mutual respect and generosity of spirit comes through loud and clear
52:30 Billy's mannerisms totally remind me of Norman Blake. Head bobbing, wrists rolling over the strings, swaying...Just totally reminded me of Norman playing Nashville Blues. On a side note, great video!
@@coryCuc So you enjoy when wh*te people steal black peoples work and claim it as their own? Your "hero" invented nothing, and stole everything entirly from black people or other people (like his hero Watson) who also stole from black people. Facts matter bub even when it hurts your wittle wh*te feelings
This was absolutely joyful to watch. I wouldn't expect anything less with such talented people as these two, but this was special. Would have loved to be there
Stellar ! ❤🤩 Watching Billy’s right hand he keeps his wrist straight and moves his whole arm. He can do this at speed and I think it gives his picking rhythmic drive and power.
Thanks for the lift, guys! I'd LOVE to buy a ticket for the Portland show, but I'm a little nervous about crowds, right now.... being in that vulnerable age group. :) Isn't it wonderful the age range - the generations of peeps that love you and your music! You single-handedly rekindled my affection for Bluegrass... ish. :) Talent is one thing. Being a really good human is another. Put the 2 together & you have something special.
@@stephenmcdonald338 I kinda know that now..but I didn't know this even existed outside of Tony Rice and Doc Watson before Billy. Shit I know Bela Fleck and Sam Bush..and Jerry Douglas..but THIS is new....and BIG! I am so happy about new music so Fucking Great!

@@ChronicCraftsman I'm lucky. I don't have to stack rank them. I can simply note that they are in that cluster of top-notch guitarists and let it go at that.
@@ChronicCraftsmanBryan is a better straight-up flat picker, Billy is a better singer and songwriter and entertainer.
It’s because Bryan Sutton is so well accomplished as a musician and a teacher and such and amazing flatpicker. Helps keep everything right in the sweet spot
Billy would say that Sutton is the best flat-picker on the planet. I’m not gonna argue with BMFS…

I was 100% sure I was the only Billy Strings / Tool crossover fan. Not sure if I should be happy or very, very afraid.
@@BradStowers😂 probably both. also, you in the market for a les paul?

I love how Billy talks about learning that lick from Brian at 11:43, and Brian throws it in the next song and gives him that look at 13:33.
That was quite the spot... Thank you. Gives them an element of humanity that is hard to remember when watching them play like gods.
Great catch! Very cool!
Yeh good catch. Sweet.
Seriously, the 2 best guitar players on planet earth.
Billy brought me here, I'm really loving bluegrass now much more than I'd think! OUTSTANDING
Me too. I found billy on youtube and now i love him and his music.
Seen the original Dust in a baggie video and i havent looked back. New bluegrass convert right here
@@Debunis Same here.
@@jonypark Same here
I was at this show. Good times...
Get two flatpickers together, and magic happens!
This is one of the sickest jams ever period
we have here two fine pickers, but what makes Billy unique is that he can at the same time sing absolutely perfectly. I love him
Unique...A exceptional human being that GOD borrowed us!❤
Well said my friend. Billy is a real bad ass!
@@scott5107 agree man!!
Isn’t Bryan singing then?
@@BobK5 lol yeah they trade off the entire time
Billy is the best to pick up a guitar since Duane Allman... love you brothers and sisters. Stay safe and love one another
That is the weirdest sentence. Duane and Billy would have the hardest itme even playing a song together.

Allman played a diffrent style. Billy is the NOMBER ONE bluegrass guitarrist
I can't imagine how many many hours and hours it must take to get to this level of playing. Great, they're both great.

33 hours.

Once again I find Mr. Strings and Mr. Sutton having way too much fun. What a great set. It would have been great to hear those guitars in the flesh.
Two awesome pickers and props to the sound man! It's almost like being there!
Yeah? Listen again from 1.14 to about 1.20. Dang near fell of my chair!
Like Doc Watson and Tony Rice. Doc realized the student became the master, and Bryan realizes this with Strings. Strings No. 1 Flatpoicker of all time

what a duo sheesh that's nice the whole way through
Just one more video before bed:
right??? thats why i aint slept in 70 days

Sounds great guys. Billy, you're awesome bro!
It's like he plays the songs I've always wanted to hear. Legend in the making.
Bluegrass , and these two together always makes me smile !
Sounds so much better when they transpose their guitars. Same capo positions just jangles.
they bring out the best in eachothers playing
Billy's got a Seldom Scene shirt! A Washington D.C bluegrass staple.
Good golly what talent. Love you both! Thanks for doing this fellas, this music can heal the soul for real, y'all play it as good or better than any I've heard.
HOW DID I JUST NOW FIND THIS??????????? I THOUGHT IVE SEEN EVERY BILLY VIDEO 33 THOUSAND TIMES.

Man... both these guys can flat out pick... sounds sooo sweet!!!
Been to the Station in many time and seeing some great players but this is one that I wished I had a scene from the best
Who gives this a thumbs down??? Those people must hate music and probably don't like their mama's, either.
Bryan sounds good on that tenor vocal!
Arguably one of my favorite sets of music to date
crazy that Billy is named after guitar strings and that’s his real name. Making the strings family proud.

Two of the best flat-pickers in the world playing some old songs.

Yonders World. Wow!
Made my day....awesome picking...

Absolutely love these up close jams.. so wicked sweet 👁️💚👁️🎤🎵🪕🕺🎶🎻🎸🍀🙃🎵🪕🎶
